This charming Nippon-style porcelain dish features a hand-painted grape and leaf motif, with soft purple clusters and green foliage set against a creamy gradient ground. Two open loop handles and elegant gold detailing frame the design, making it a lovely piece for display or light serving. While it bears the classic “Hand Painted Nippon” mark associated with early Japanese export ware, this example dates to 1997 and is a later reproduction in the Nippon style.
