Soukyu Kiln Okame Kutani Sauce Plate

This Kutani square sauce plate is adorned with the playful design of a humorous "Okame." 

Okame is an iconic Japanese mask motif and is characterized by a round face, short hair and rounded cheeks. Historically, okame was seen as a sign of good fortune. A lovely smile graces the okame's expression, illuminated by rosy cheeks and full red lips.

This sauce plate is well-suited for everyday use and for serving guests when enjoying Japanese cuisine. It is the perfect size for soy sauce and condiments, and a wonderful item to set small sweets along side a cup of hot green tea. Enjoy collecting these small plates as they come in various designs.
