Raised Base Landscape Sauce Plate

This blue and white sauce plate is crafted by Takayama, renowned for Hasami porcelain. Its surface features intricately detailed scenes of Japanese landscapes—rolling mountains, winding rivers, boats, and temples—neatly arranged within fan-shaped frames, all set against a background of abundant flowers. The result is reminiscent of a scroll painting, allowing you to appreciate its delicate and refined atmosphere. 

The plate stands upon a raised base and the shape of the rim resembles a bellflower, adding just that extra bit of charm and specialness. 

The plate's size is ideal for small bites of pickles, fruit, or desserts like Japanese wagashi. For easy storage, it stacks neatly with the maker’s other designs—especially the other side plates and kobachi small bowls, which match closely in size. It’s an excellent choice for newcomers to Japanese tableware and for those looking to mix and match pieces.

This cute yet sophisticated piece adds a sense of depth and elegance to any dining experience.
