That's because the founder of Meito China, Kotaro Asuki, was a previous employee of Noritake and assumed many of the techniques and artistic proclivities with which he had become familiar during his time at Noritake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan in the 1930s, this set of vintage porcelain bread and butter plates features all the hallmarks of exquisite dishware that made Meito China synonymous with gorgeous design. Featuring a pale Tiffany blue stripe, hand-painted floral swags, mustard-shaded dots, and lacy grey stripes, this set of four is enhanced with a two-tone color palette of pale yellow and bright white that was very popular during the 1930s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pastel wonderland of vibrant and softly shaded hues, elegant and dainty, these plates were made for serving bread but their 6.5\" inch diameter size allows for many serving possibilities beyond too. Here in the Vintage Kitchen, we love to use this size plate for small side salads, dessert, fresh fruit, appetizers and snack plates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo pretty when paired with solid bright white, pale grey or ivory dishes, these four offer lots of mix-and-match potential.
