A large plate with dragons

[Marius]

39.5 x 39.5 cm - a wonderful plate with two dragons, male and female. Absolutely lovely, an great decoration of any Japanese room or man cave or even a living room.  

 

Made of cast iron... Wait, no!  This plate is made of something ceramic. I didn't dare examine it further (I wouldn't like to drill through, mind you). Anyway, it is made to look like cast iron, and you can really be deceived, until you take it in your hands (it is lighter than cast iron). Scratch on the backside where you can see the white material this was made of. Gypsum, I over a wood base, I suppose.

 

Comes in a battered old box, with some inscription inside, part obscured by black ink (most likely owner's name).

 

$400 (EUR 370) this time shipping is extra. Bank transfer only, please. I presume shipping would be around $30-35

 

Please note - I'd rather ship without box, as I cannot ship it in the box - there is no possibility to wrap it and put in the box, which is to small for that. And I want it to arrive safely, so I would have to wrap box and plate separately.
