About vintage porcelain:

• the diameter of the plate is 24 cm
• the porcelain is ivory in color and decorated with a silver stripe
• the porcelain is not new. It was manufactured at the J. Maier and Sons porcelain factory in Božíčany. The mark found on the bottom of the plates was used from the second half of 1939 to April 1945. The porcelain factory was in the territory annexed to Germany (after which the same mark can be found but with the subtitle Made in Germany). The porcelain is therefore most likely almost 80 years old.
• the plate is hand-decorated with porcelain decals that were fired in a ceramic kiln at 820 °C
  
• please do not put porcelain in the dishwasher or microwave, but you can of course wash it by hand without using abrasive cleaners
• I sell the plates as "DECORATIVE ITEM", because Czech legislation does not allow such renovated products to be sold as products intended for contact with food

About porcelain decals:

• porcelain decals are reproductions of my original pen drawings
• the decals are applied to the porcelain by hand, so the position of the images may differ slightly from the photo
• the decals are produced by a specialized Czech company, they are high quality and durable

About the Lake Jewels (or koi carp with moon) collection:

• the collection is inspired by colorful koi carp, which are the jewels of ponds not only in Japanese gardens
• in this collection you will find porcelain, glass, textiles, jewelry and small paper items
• I will gladly put this motif on another mug or anything else for you
