Description

This Edo glass side plate features a design reminiscent of plum blossoms in the center of a shimmering, bumpy dot pattern known as arare.

The size is perfect for serving appetizers, side dishes, desserts or fruits. It is especially recommended for serving cold food, as it allows the cool atmosphere of the glass to shine through.

This piece is recommended as a gift or for home use.

The arare pattern refers to the design used in cast iron kettles, in which large and small dots are lined up in rows. It is a simple and beautiful pattern of dots lined up in rows, and has long been loved in Japan.

However, expressing this pattern in glass required a high level of technical skill. During the mid-Edo period (1603-1868 CE), pressed glass with patterns of bumpy dots was imported from overseas to Japan, but it was produced with a great deal of industrial technique and craftsmanship.

As Japanese glass technology improved over time, the bumpy dot pattern was arranged with a Japanese flavor, and Japanese pressed glass, more clearly engraved than blown glass, became more durable and was produced in greater quantities due to high demand.
