Vintage Japanese Peony Ware Double Floral Dish (c.1940s–50s)

A beautifully sculptural double dish in the classic Japanese “peony ware” style, featuring raised hand-painted florals in rich blue, soft yellow, and leafy green tones.

This piece dates to the post-war export period, when Japanese ceramics were designed to bring colour and charm into everyday homes. The gently flowing form and textured floral detail give it a lovely sense of movement — both practical and decorative.

Perfect for serving sweets, nuts or condiments, or simply styled as a statement piece on a shelf or coffee table.
