The reverse displays a traditional blue scale pattern.

The final item is a Chinese late Qing to early Republic period dish with floral sprays on a cobalt blue ground and a green scalloped border, marked CHINA to the apple-green base. No maker marks are present on the Japanese items. Dimensions: Charger diameter 30cm, small dishes diameter 10cm.
