About the Item

1950s Showa period Sterling silver repoussé decorative plate by Matsuyama, Japan By: Matsuyama Material: Sterling silver, silver, silver plate, metal Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, polished, repoussé, silvered, hand-crafted Dimensions: 7.5 in x 1 in Date: late 19th century Style: Showa Place of origin: Japan With its restrained oval form and carefully arranged botanical ornament, this Japanese sterling silver plate reflects the refined metalworking traditions of the Shōwa period. Crafted by Matsuyama and retailed by the esteemed silversmiths at Okubo, the plate features an asymmetrical composition of chrysanthemums, delicate blossoms, and intricately rendered foliage extending along one side of the rim and into the gently recessed central well. The floral motifs are worked in repoussé and chased relief, creating subtle variations in depth and texture that contrast with the smooth, polished silver surface. Finely articulated petals, veined leaves, and slender stems lend the decoration a naturalistic quality, while the uninterrupted expanse of silver preserves a sense of visual balance. A raised, concentric border defines the central well and follows the contours of the oval silhouette, framing the ornament without overwhelming its delicate detailing. Produced in Japan during the mid-20th century, the plate combines traditional decorative techniques with an understated presentation suited to a silver collection or refined interior. The reverse bears the stamped marks “OKUBO” and “STERLING,” identifying the retailer and silver composition. The front is engraved with the Japanese kanji signature “枩山刻” (Matsuyama koku), meaning “engraved by Matsuyama,” attributing the decorative metalwork to the artisan.
