Yazaemon Crane and Wave Side Plate Set

This set of five plates depicts a festive crane and waves. Decorated with other auspicious motifs such as pine, bamboo, plum, and chrysanthemum, it is perfect for celebrations and other occasions.

These plates are beautifully decorated reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship handed down for generations within Arita Porcelain Lab's long history. The technique displayed in this bowl is called "somenishiki" where the bowl is first glazed with white and blue patterns and then is further decorated with detailed hand painted drawings.  

It can be used as an extra plate for any type of dish. Appetizers, salad, bread and desserts are the perfect match. The gorgeous colors make it a great choice for layering with plates from the same series for special occasion dinners.
