A mid-20th-century East Asian export silver oval platter, featuring a finely chased rim decorated with a continuous band of chrysanthemums and foliage. The central well displays a subtle planished (hammered) finish, providing a soft, reflective texture. The reverse is struck with the mark "SILVER" alongside two character marks. This piece exemplifies the high-quality craftsmanship associated with Japanese export silver of the early Showa period.
