Blue Swirl Pattern Sauce Plate

This blue and white sauce plate features an elegant swirling design in two blue hues, contrasted with the pure white of Tobe ware porcelain. Sturdy and practical, with the rustic charm of the traditional design, it elegantly matches with a wide range of tableware.

Completely handmade by Baizan Kiln, the oldest existing kiln in Tobe, this plate embodies the design concept of “function meets beauty.” The plate’s size is ideal for pickles, condiments, bite-sized desserts, and sauces, their presentation elevated by the gentle hand-painting. The plate's relatively high rim and upward-curving shape help keep liquids like soy sauce from spilling. 

Small in size, durable, and easy to pair with any table setting, it truly shines in daily life, ensuring it remains a staple in your tableware collection for years to come.

Baizan Kiln

Baizan Kiln, the oldest existing kiln in Tobe City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is cherished for its creations featuring simple yet dynamic brushstrokes and a sturdy, robust form. Its warm white porcelain pieces are adorned with deep indigo and colorful patterns, and their thick, solid shapes evoke a sense of unpretentious, wholesome beauty. In 1976, Baizan Kiln was officially recognized as a traditional craft maker by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

Tobe Ware

Tobe ware is porcelain produced in the Tobe region of Ehime Prefecture, located in the northwest of Shikoku Island. The white porcelain, with its beautiful, slightly bluish hue from the iron content, continues to be highly valued and loved. Tobe ware maintains a strong respect for traditional handicraft techniques, even amidst modernization.
