Mid-Century Japanese Divided Plates Set Glazed Stoneware

Exceptional set of mid-century Japanese divided stoneware plates, produced in Japan and marked accordingly. This is a highly desirable form among collectors: sculptural radial dividers, thick rims, and rich glossy glazes typical of 1950s–1960s Japanese export ceramics. The set includes three matching plates in coordinated glazes: • Deep cobalt blue • Warm mustard / ochre • Soft ivory / cream These plates were designed as hors d’oeuvre or relish trays, but today are prized primarily as display ceramics due to their strong modernist geometry and glaze quality. Why collectors want these: • Authentic Japan backstamp • Classic atomic / mid-century modern form • Heavy, high-quality stoneware (not porcelain, not thin) • Sculptural dividers with excellent glaze pooling • Increasingly difficult to find as a matched color set Details • Origin: Japan • Era: Mid-Century Modern (circa 1950s–60s) • Material: Glazed stoneware • Diameter: approx. 10.5 inches (see ruler photos) • Condition: Excellent vintage condition • No cracks or repairs • Minor glaze variations consistent with vintage production • Sold as one complete set (not separated) These display beautifully on shelves or walls and pair perfectly with Danish modern, atomic ranch, or curated MCM interiors. mid century plate japanese ceramics divided plate atomic era decor mcm stoneware vintage japan modernist pottery collectible ceramics hors doeuvre tray 1950s ceramics retro kitchen decor glazed stoneware design collector Pick up Dupont and Landsdowne
