Asian Mother of Pearl Inlaid Oval Plates

By tarabelvoir1970, 28 November, 2008
Description

All 4 plates appear the same, but upon closer inspection, have different animals and foliage inlaid. There are no marking on the front or back.  Hangers are on the back of each plate, so they must be just for decoration. All 4 plates are in excellent condition, no scratches, dents, no peeling of the lacquer. Mother of Pearl is exquisite in color. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
