Green celadon carp plate - goldfish design, 7"D (set of 4 plates)

The double carp design embossed on our celadon dinnerware is a derivation of one of the first known decorative patterns on Chinese porcelain ware. The carp is a symbol of prosperity in China. As porcelain once exemplified both high technology and affluence, it is not surprising that the carp should adorn it.

As celadon is technically stoneware, a dense clay ceramic, it is durable as well as dishwasher and microwave safe. Reorient has a full line of Celadon dinnerware that is sourced in northern China from some of the oldest operating factories that still produce Celadon as it was a hundred years ago, hand worked with wood and coal fired kilns. The character and quality of each item is consistent with 19th century craftsmanship and will lend the mystique of old world Asia to your dinner setting.
