Japanese Stoneware Dinner Set

I was delighted to get my hands on this "Casual Ceram" dinner service, comprising 6 dinner plates, 6 soup bowls and 6 side plates. It's so unusual to come across complete sets, not to mention ones that are in good condition (a couple of the dinner plates carry some crazing - see last image - but the plates are solid with no chips or cracks). I love the "Lido" pattern depicted on this set - the colour palette of gold, burgundy, plum, orange and yellow is so pretty and I can't think of a better way to serve a hearty meal. The plates and bowls are a good size and I'd say ideal for regular use as they're not super delicate.
