Chrysanthemum Square Sauce Plate

This is a square sauce plate with an image of a chrysanthemum flower by Zuiho Kiln of Arita porcelain. It has carved edges with a metallic coating of gold or silver, giving it a modern and simple appearance. The simple design highlights the food served on the plate and presents fine dining. 

With its slight depth, this plate is versatile to serve sauce, cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small foods. It can also be used to place small accessories that are easily lost. You can also 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.

The chrysanthemum is such an important flower in Japan that it has become a motif of the imperial family and is a symbol of nobility. It is also said to be the flower that dispels evil spirits. 

Zuiho Kiln

Zuiho Kiln was established in 1917. Having built a kiln in the Arita Sotoyama area, and always feeling the new winds of the times, they have continued to produce original tableware for restaurants including Ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants), as well as dishes that people can use in their everyday lives and feel the warmth of human touch.

Crafted in the historic town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware stands as the most venerable porcelain production hub in the annals of Japanese history. Characterized by its ethereal translucent white porcelain adorned with vibrant paintings, it has profoundly influenced the porcelain craft across Europe.

Within Japan, Arita ware is held in high esteem as a prestigious brand, with the town of Arita acknowledged as a quintessential porcelain production area.
