Lily of the Valley is also known as "Kimi Kage Sou" (shadow-hiding grass), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman who cherishes loved ones and quietly watches over them from the shadows.

With its rustic and understated beauty, Lily of the Valley has long been famous 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 it resembles a veiled bride, it is a popular flower to give at weddings.

The design evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white ceramic further enhance its elegance. Between the motifs, a small floral relief is applied, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making it a truly charming series.

There are multiple chips and hairline cracks. There are also cutlery marks. This plate shows signs of use.
