A decorative group of three Japanese porcelain tablewares comprising one shallow bowl and two plates, each displaying a distinct interpretation of traditional Asian motifs. The bowl is centered by a finely rendered figure in green robes within a restrained border of stylized foliage and blossoms, while one plate features an Imari-inspired palette of iron red, green, and blue with floral medallions and radiating reserves. The larger scalloped plate is richly decorated in turquoise, green, black, gilt, and polychrome enamels with alternating panels of birds, flowers, landscape elements, geometric patterns, and auspicious ornament surrounding a central medallion. The bowl bears an underside mark reading “Japanese Porcelain Ware Decorated in Hong Kong,” and the larger plate retains a “Made in Japan” label. Presented in generally good decorative condition with scattered surface wear, minor discoloration and residue, rubbing and losses to the gilt decoration, and possible light crazing or age-related imperfections consistent with use. Bowl measures 4" H x 8.5"W and plates are 7.5" and 8.5" in diameter.
