Chokin is a traditional Japanese decorative art of engraved metalwork, gilded with gold and silver. The technique has historical links to the decoration of samurai armour and weapons, and Chokin plates like this one recreate its fine, detailed style on porcelain. The reverse of the plate carries a printed mark describing the art of Chokin and its origins in decorating the armour of samurai warriors, along with “Made in Japan”.
As with all our vintage pieces, minor signs of age and use should be expected as part of their character. Dimensions and weight are approximate.
