These beautifully crafted Yamanaka Lacquerware children's plates are wonderful additions to the table when enjoying a meal with children.
These plates come in four different designs of a bunny blowing bubbles, a friendly elephant, a smiling lion, and a happy cat. All the drawings on the plates are hand-drawn with care, giving a simple yet warm expression to all the animal designs.
The material used for these children's plates is Japanese Horse Chestnut, which is light in weight and has exquisite wood grains. The high-quality craftsmanship of Yamanaka Lacquerware's technique of "Suri-urushi" enhances the beauty of the wood grains of these plates. "Suri-urushi" is where multiple layers of raw lacquer are rubbed into a wooden surface to create a transparent shiny coat.
Match these plates with bowls and spoons with the same design to make a cute tableware set for your children or as a gift set. See more cute children's tableware items in our Children's Tableware collection.
