Description

This dinner plate has a beautiful pomegranate design in the iro-Nabeshima (colored Nabeshima) style on stunning white porcelain. The pomegranate pattern is one of the most representative patterns of Nabeshima ware.

As bright orange-red flowers bloom in early summer, the pomegranate fruit ripens in autumn, its thick outer skin breaking open to reveal numerous seeds inside. This appearance is considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity of offspring, contributing to its popularity.

Perfectly suited for sharing a main dish, it is ideal for plating sashimi and appetizers in an elegant display.

The style of iro-Nabeshima has traditional rules, consisting of one color for sometsuke (indigo blue) and three colors of akae (red, yellow, and green). After the outline is drawn in indigo blue gosu pigment, overglaze painting in colors such as red, kibi (yellow), and moe (green) is used to color in the design. Although it may seem that many colors are used, in fact, only three are applied—a hallmark of iro-Nabeshima—and its beauty is regarded as the pinnacle of Japanese porcelain.
