Vintage Lotus Plate & Ashtray | Hand-Painted in Hong Kong on Japanese Earthenwar

A beautiful vintage decorative plate, originally intended as an ashtray, featuring a serene lotus pond scene. This piece is estimated to be from the 1960s-1980s.

Rendered in a classic iron-red, the hand-painted design depicts blooming lotus flowers and pads, accented with delicate touches of gold. The lotus is a highly auspicious symbol in East Asian culture, representing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth.

The piece has an elegant, lobed shape and is covered in a fine crackle glaze (crazing), which adds to its depth and vintage character. The back is clearly marked "ASHTRAY," "HAND PAINTED IN HONG KONG," and "BLANK BODY FROM JAPAN," telling the story of its unique international production.

【Condition】 Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The crackle glaze is a deliberate artistic feature and not a flaw.

【Use】 For decorative use only. Perfect as a trinket dish, for holding keys, or simply as a beautiful display piece. Not food safe.
