i have a set 5 dishes made in japan with no markings on them , they are identified as essential dish’s according to the brochure that was given to me with them. they are about 6″ x 4″ maybe 3/16″ thick, top layer maybe 1/16″.
I have searched on the internet for information on them to no avail .

Have cross posted this to another forum !! I have a friend that may be able to tell what it says !! He has some knowledge of the Japanese language !! There are many of these Japanese imports !! They were all made for the western market and never used in Japan !! I am not sure what dialect it is !!
the address on the back bottom of brochure
according to google translate is
Art Capscher
kane 516 Ise City, Mie Prefecture
2-Chome Okamoto No.1 35
no.tel Ise (0596) 28-3537
i did find out they are from the 40’s or 50’s when my dad was in the navy he brought them home and they have been in storage until about 5 years ago my sister found them and displayed them
