This set of five Japanese sauce plates features colorful patterns painted by artisans of Ginshu Kiln, which is especially known as its romantic and playful pastel colored painting.

The painted areas have a slightly raised texture, a characteristic of Kutani ware, which is traditionally hand-painted using Japanese coloring pigments and a brush.

Perfect size as a sauce plate. It is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. Or you can put a small portion of food or containments in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
