This gorgeous, auspicious small plate has been carefully crafted at Seikogama, a famous kiln in Ishikawa Prefecture that is known for its Kutani ware.
The "Kissho Lucky Small Plate Collection" features friendly designs based on auspicious motifs. Not only will they add color to your daily dining table, but they also make wonderful gifts.
Yoshidaya-style porcelain was a kiln opened by the Toyoda family (trade name Yoshidaya), wealthy merchants of the Daishoji domain, during the Bunsei era of the Edo period (1818-1829). Its soft painting style reflects the peaceful Bunka-Bunsei era. It is said to be the style that most closely resembles the Ko-Kutani style, and features flowers and birds, landscapes, small patterns, and floral designs using the three colors of blue, yellow, and purple.
The flower language of the standing hollyhock (Tachiaoi), which blooms upright, is "nobility" and "dignity." It begins to bloom from the bottom, and when the upper flowers bloom, it signals the end of the rainy season. It is a flower that heralds the arrival of bright summer.
Small plates bring color and fun into your life, making it richer.
These convenient plates can be used as small or serving plates to serve snacks or side dishes, or as soy sauce or condiment dishes, creating a vibrant and colorful dining table.
The glazes developed exclusively by Seikogama Kiln create a beautiful finish with translucence and depth. Advanced transfer technology allows us to achieve high quality at an affordable price.
We highly recommend pairing it with a sake cup with the same design.
We also have a collection of other fun auspicious patterns, so be sure to check them out as well.
