With striking, soft white cherry blossoms set against a deep blue glaze, this sweet blooms plate is the largest of our spring blossom range of dishes. Great for use as a round platter or serving dish, it is a lovely piece for the table at any time of the year.(Chopsticks for display purposes only.)

Spring in Washington celebrates the cherry trees and their beautiful pink and white flowers that bloom in late March. Every year, Cherry Blossom Festival performers put on a colorful show right in front of the National Archives steps. The majority of the trees are located near the Tidal Basin, where they are most popularly viewed. The Japanese cherry trees were a gift from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington on March 27, 1912. The National Archives holds many records related to the United States' relationship with Japan.
