Imperial porcelain found in Japan

More than 300 dishes and bowls decorated with the Imperial chrysanthemum seal, believed to be made between the 17th and 19th centuries, have been unearthed at the Kyoto Imperial Palace in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto. . .

They are reportedly Arita ware porcelain, made in Aritamachi, Saga Prefecture. They were believed to be made at the request of the Imperial family and given to aristocrats.
