On this deep dinner plate, lines in the classic blue-and-white sometsuke style form smooth and elegant curves, representing leaf veins. These lines are hand-painted by artisans, with subtle variations in thickness and shade making each unique. When using this plate, you can feel a closeness to nature.
Sometsuke is a technique that applies indigo color onto a base fired to pure white, using a pigment mainly composed of cobalt oxide called gosu. Artisans meticulously select their soil, glaze, and gosu to enhance the contrast between white and indigo.
This plate is sized perfectly for everyday use, suitable for holding salads, appetizers, pasta, and fruit. The unique, leaf-inspired edge adds a simple yet striking design element.
Its design is appropriate for use in any season, but especially ideal for summer, as its color scheme and texture offer a refreshing and delightful experience to the user.

Maker / Brand
Founded in 1919, SINGAMA is a family-run pottery studio in Shinano, a small town nestled in the northeastern hills of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. Using high-quality local clay, the studio specializes in Seto sometsuke—white porcelain adorned with soft, indigo blue designs. Each piece is hand-painted and crafted to express comfort, with gentle forms and warmth that feel at home on the everyday table.
Crafts
Made in and around Seto City in Aichi Prefecture, Seto ware encompasses a wide range of ceramics that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and innovation. As one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyo), the Seto region holds a distinguished place in the country’s ceramic heritage. It was also a pioneer in porcelain mass-production, and its widespread use gave rise to the word setomono—a term still used today to refer to ceramics in general.
Remarkable for its stylistic breadth, Seto is one of the few regions in Japan where both stoneware and porcelain are made. From simple everyday tableware to more refined pieces, Seto ware continues to shape the rhythm of daily life with creations that balance tradition and creativity.
