A striking little Chokin Art decorative plate featuring a detailed Japanese pagoda or temple scene surrounded by rich black and metallic gold-tone borders. The central scene combines finely engraved architectural and landscape details with shimmering metallic accents that change beautifully as the plate catches the light. At approximately 5 inches across, it makes an elegant display piece without taking up much room and would be especially appealing in an Asian décor, Chokin Art, or miniature decorative plate collection.

Maker Marks
The front retains a gold label reading “Chokin ART 24KT Gold.” The reverse is printed “THE ART OF CHOKIN” and describes the metal engraving process as being created with 24KT gold and silver and accented with copper. The reverse also references the engravings as being created by the original Chokin artists.

Condition
Pre-owned vintage condition. The decorative scene, black finish, metallic borders, front label, and information on the reverse remain present. Light surface wear may be present from age, previous display, or storage. No chips or cracks are apparent in the photos. Please review photos for the condition of the metallic decoration and finish.

History
Chokin-style decorative art is known for engraved metal designs enhanced with contrasting metallic finishes, frequently featuring traditional Japanese subjects such as temples, landscapes, birds, flowers, and other nature scenes. This example combines 24KT gold and silver elements with copper accents, according to the information printed on the plate itself. These small decorative pieces became popular as collectible display and gift items.
