An antique plate you'll want to add to your cherished collection. This piece is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest, displayed on a shelf or used to hold accessories, rather than tucked away in a cupboard.

The lily of the valley is also known by the name "Kimikage-sou" (shadow-hiding grass), evoking the image of a beautiful and modest woman thinking of a loved one and quietly watching over them from the shadows.

With its simple and understated beauty, the 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 its appearance resembles a veiled bride, it is a flower often given at weddings.

The design evokes the modest beauty of the lily of the valley. The deep greenish-blue and white ceramic enhance its elegance. Between the patterns, there are small floral reliefs, adding a soft, lace-like impression, making this series truly charming.
