Streamlined chrysanthemums are the motif used in this beautifully crafted dinner plate. 25 petals with smooth edges are neatly aligned to create a harmonious completeness in one deep plate.
The multiple layers of lacquer give the bowls a subtle yet deep shine, and the smooth surface elegantly reflects light. Contrasting colors used for the edges of the petals bestow a sense of movement and depth to this item.
This dinner plate can be used to plate confectioneries. You can display fruit in this bowl to decorate a dining table. Quite versatile in use as it is adequately sized to hold multiple servings. The bowl is very light and can be easily held with one hand.
These deep plates come in vermilion red and black.

Dinner Plates
This category is for plates ranging from 21 cm (8.3 in) to 30.9 cm (12.2 in). For traditional Japanese meals, plates around 8 in are the most practical. On the other hand, when serving a one-plate dinner or pasta, plates around 25 cm (10 in) are more convenient.
Lacquerware
Japanese lacquerware, also called shikki in Japanese, is a proud handicraft with a long history dating back to 5,000 BCE, and traditional methods are still followed today. Durable, light, antibacterial, and robust enough to endure for more than one hundred years, Japanese lacquerware is not only beautiful, but also highly functional.
In addition to the fine Japanese lacquerware found in antique and vintage pieces, there is also contemporary Japanese lacquerware suitable for modern life made by artisans who continue to improve their skills and pass on tradition today.
