Antique Japanese Moriyama Mori-Machi Divided Serving Tray With Original Box 10"

Moriyama-Mori-Machi
Ceramic Divided Tray
Japanese, Early 20th Century

This antique Japanese Moriyama pottery tray features the distinctive Mori-machi floral aesthetic, likely produced by the Moriyama kiln established in 1911. The divided serving piece is designed with five sections-a circular central well surrounded by four outer compartments-showcasing hand-painted orange, yellow, and brown floral motifs. The piece exemplifies the export porcelain styles popular in the early to mid-20th century, characterized by ornate borders and traditional Japanese botanical themes.

• Ceramic porcelain construction with five divided serving compartments
• Red "MADE IN JAPAN" mark stamped on the underside of the tray
• Includes original storage box with a decorative floral lithograph lid and metal-reinforced rim
• Diameter: Approximately 9.75 to 10 inches (ruler visible in photos)

Condition: Good antique condition. The ceramic tray remains vibrant with clear hand-painted details and no visible cracks or chips to the upper surface. The tray is currently tightly fitted or adhered to the base portion of its original box. The original box lid shows heavy signs of age, including surface oxidation to the metal trim, paper loss, and general shelf wear.
