The lily of the valley is also known as "Kagikage-sou" (shadow-hiding plant), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who secretly watches over a loved one from the shadows.

With its charming rustic and understated beauty, the lily of the valley has long been known in France as "the flower that brings happiness" or "the flower that brings happiness again." May 1st is "fête du muguet," a day to give lilies of the valley to loved ones. Also, because they resemble a veiled bride, they are often given as gifts at weddings.

 The design of this plate captures the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white ceramic further enhance its elegance. Between the motifs, small floral reliefs are applied, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making this series full of charm.

There is almost no crazing. There is a chip and some cutlery marks.
