Description

This Flower and Birds Bellflower Rim Plate is a splendid piece showcasing the artistry of hand-painted blue drawings on fine durable Mikawachi porcelain. The rim is made in the shape of petals of bellflowers and the dynamic curves of branches are a sign of sophistication. As the flowers and leaves elegantly sprout across the plate, charming blue birds add more life. 

The shades of blue display an exquisite gradation, painted carefully by skilled craftspeople using brushes soaked in cobalt pigment, allowing the dye to flow naturally onto the porcelain. The dye "sinks" into the clay creating a gentle and soft shade of blue. The outlines are drawn swiftly with precision and care using soft and fine brushes along the contours of the flowers and leaves. 

These hand-painted blue paintings will certainly enhance the presentation of your dish. Be it for sushi, sashimi or tempura, you can enjoy the serenity and elegance of Japanese blue and white porcelain with this plate.

Mikawachi, located in the current Nagasaki Prefecture, is a historical region known for its Sometsuke porcelain ware. Historically, its kilns served the lordship of the Hirado Domain. Compared to Arita ware, Mikawachi ware's Sometsuke features a softer, gentler shade of blue, renowned for its intricately detailed paintings.

Kakusho Kiln is one of the prestigious kilns that served the lordship of Hirado Domain, and values the elegant beauty and gracefulness in the balance between white porcelain and fine blue paintings. Their craftspeople are skilled in the use of the gentle shades of blue characteristic of Mikawachi ware, and enhances its presence with the beauty of white porcelain.
