# Vintage Japanese Moriage Dragonware Cabinet Plates (Set of 2)Up for sale is a striking matching pair of vintage Japanese Moriage Dragonware plates. These collector plates feature an ornate, hand-painted design showcasing a coiled dragon floating through stylized clouds. The plates utilize the classic \"moriage\" technique, featuring highly detailed, raised slip-clay work that gives the dragons and cloud elements a beautiful, tactile 3D texture. ### Product Details:
* **Style:** Moriage Dragonware / Porcelain Export Ware
* **Region of Origin:** Japan
* **Era:** Vintage (Circa 1940s–1960s Mid-Century)
* **Color Palette:** Vibrant green gradient border fading into a cream/pale yellow center, accented with raised grey/white dragons and brown painted accents.
* **Markings:** Unmarked / No maker\'s mark on the reverse bases (typical for this era of export ware).
* **Quantity:** Set of 2 matching plates### Condition Report:
This pair is in decent vintage condition with gorgeous display appeal, but does show minor signs of age as detailed below:
* **Rim/Edge Flaws:** There are a few small flea bites, paint flakes, and minor chips along the outer brown painted rim and white beaded border (see close-up photos).
* **Moriage Details:** The raised clay piping on the dragon figures remains largely intact with beautifully preserved texture.
* **Structure:** No major cracks, large structural breaks, or hairline fractures detected. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully, specifically the close-ups of the rim edge, to evaluate the exact condition. The price has been adjusted downward to reflect these minor cosmetic flaws. ### Display Note:
These are decorative cabinet or accent plates. Due to the delicate raised moriage clay and vintage glazes, they are intended for display only and are not recommended for food use, microwaves, or dishwashers.
