Make teatime at home a more fun occasion with this charming sakura (cherry blossom) pink small plate designed with a sakura pattern in the middle.
The light pink sakura blossoms are highlighted on a shiny surface created by a coat of a lustrous glaze. At Tasei Kiln, two skilled female artisans with over 40 years of experience paint intricate and graceful patterns, and coat each item with a luster glaze. Their special technique gives the teacup a luxurious and stylish feel. The sakura designs are masked, and then the remaining surface is given the luster glaze. The glazed surface has a distinct textured glossy glimmer and shines beautifully under light.

ABOUT ARITA WARE
Arita Ware, made in the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, is the oldest porcelain production area in Japan's history. Arita porcelain is characterized by its translucent white porcelain surface, dyeing using "Gosu" (indigo pigment), and gorgeous red painting using glassy overglaze pigments (red, green, yellow, purple, and blue). The pottery is highly durable and is produced in a wide variety of styles, from fine art to daily necessities. It was exported to Europe, where it was prized as fine art and called "white gold".
Arita Ware is also a prestigious brand that is admired by ceramicists from other regions as a representative porcelain production area.
