This is an elegant set of five sauce plates, exquisitely crafted in the vibrant Yoshidaya style, a celebrated tradition within Kutani ware. Unusually for Kutani ware, which is commonly made of porcelain, these plates are made from stoneware. The sides and the back of the plates retain the natural texture of unglazed clay.

The overglaze painting depicts the clematis in multiple layers, adding depth and dimension to the design. The clematis flower, which was introduced to Japan during the Edo period (1603 CE – 1868 CE), is a commonly used motif in Kutani ware. It carries the symbolic meanings of noble virtues, a beautiful heart, and deep compassion.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate. They are also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. Or you may put a small portion of food or relishes on this plate and set it on a larger plate or into a bento box for a more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.

The traditional design is sure to make an impression on anyone, which makes it an extraordinary gift for yourself or your loved ones.
