Raspberry Side Plate 5 star review As these designs are made

As these designs are made by hand

This porcelain sauce plate features hanazume—a traditional Kutani pattern meaning “filled with flowers”—rendered in soft white

but the body is surprisingly large and stable

It is a great size as an extra plate for serving the main dish

but also gives you the pleasure of opening it to see what wonderful sweets will appear

Raspberry Side Plate 5 star review As these designs are madeThe harmony between white porcelain and blue paintings is the beauty of this Mikawachi ware blue and white plate. Two raspberry branches painted in flowing, fine lines are superbly composed, and the small round raspberry berries gracefully match the sharpness of the leaves and branches. The shades of blue display an exquisite gradation, painted carefully by skilled craftspeople using brushes soaked in cobalt pigment, allowing the dye to flow naturally
