Seikou Kiln Plum Kutani Sauce Plate
This is a Japanese small plate with a plum blossom pattern on a beautiful blue-green background.
Plum blossoms have been a favorite flower in Japan for a long time, and are a motif often used in kimonos and tableware. The plum blossoms are considered to be auspicious, as they are the first to bloom as soon as the cold winter has passed, making people feel happy and announcing the beginning of the new season.
Perfect size as a sauce plate. It is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. Or you may put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
Each piece is uniquely hand-painted by a dedicated artisan of Kutani ware, making the texture of the plate warm and appealing.
It is a great gift to yourself or for your loved ones.

Beautiful quality
In March 2024 I was fortunate to visit many beautiful places in Japan. As I was exploring Kanazawa, I came across a shop with gorgeous pottery. I did purchase a couple of items however when I returned home family members attached themselves to the items, so they were gifted to them. I still wanted something special to remind me of my time in Kanazawa. I searched the internet and found that beautiful pottery once again on the Musubi Kiln website. The items I purchased were delivered quickly (to Australia) and were beautifully packaged. I will purchase more items in the future. The quality of the pottery, the ease of ordering and quick delivery has made this an enjoyable experience.
United KingdomAll in the details
This is one of four that I purchased. The pattern has a slight embossing around the flowers which is not evident when you see it on the website. So beautifully intricate, it's the details that make these plates so special. A lovely addition to my growing collection.
