This Japanese sauce plate features three cranes flying freely as if they are dancing. A crane is a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japan from ancient times.

Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted bird is slightly thickened and standing out.

Perfect size as a sauce plate. It is versatile to serve any small food such as cheese, nuts, jams and condiments.

You may also put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
