Hachi-Kutani Flower Birds Guard Sauce Plate
This beautiful white plate is in the shape of a guard on the Japanese sword with many good luck charms such as birds, flowers, Shippou pattern and Takeda-bishi pattern.
The pattern has a design of a bird perched on a three with blossoms, giving an image of beautiful scenery.
Shippou is a pattern of circles overlapping in quarters. Since the pattern can extend in any direction without limits, the pattern is regarded as auspicious for the prosperity of descendants, good relationships, and for bringing harmony.
The Takeda-bishi is the family crest of the Takeda family, including Shingen Takeda, one of the most powerful magnate with exceptional military prestige in the late stage of the Sengoku period.
While Kutani Ware is loved for its vibrant colors, the hachi-kutani series features sauce plates all in white. They are made at Seikou Kiln. Seikou Kiln researched Japanese overglaze paint of Kutani ware for years. Thick overglaze paint with traditional Japanese paints is the same quality as hand paint and brings out a sense of luxury. The porcelain is decorated with an elegant traditional pattern, inspired by the snow of Hakusan (Mt. Hakusan), and is trimmed with a rusty brown finish.
This small plate can be used for sauce, condiments, pickles, jam, cookies and other small items such as accessories. It has a beautiful and simple design that matches any item. There are eight different patterns in total, so you can choose your favorite one or use different patterns with your family.
