Sweet vintage strawberry cake plate by Shafford Japan (JSC), featuring a dimensional raised strawberry border in glossy red with a soft green rim.
This charming mid-century Japanese ceramic serving plate captures the whimsical cottage and fruit-themed kitchen aesthetic popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The sculpted strawberries around the edge create beautiful texture and make this piece equally lovely as functional serveware or displayed as retro kitchen decor.
Perfect for serving cakes, pastries, cookies, fruit, or tea sandwiches — or simply styled on open shelving in a cottagecore or farmhouse kitchen.
A cheerful statement piece for collectors of vintage Japanese ceramics, strawberry decor, or kitschy retro kitchenware.

Shafford Japan produced high-quality, hand-painted fine bone china and ceramics, imported primarily to the United States from the late 1940s through the 1970s. While often associated with the post-WWII "Occupied Japan" era, the company operated as a major importer of giftware well into the 1970s. JSC is known for hand-painted delicate china, lusterware, and kitschy figural items, such as cats, cottage-themed teapots, and figural planters.
