This porcelain sauce plate is decorated with an auspicious patterns known as nami chidori, plovers and waves, and karakusa, an arabesque design.

Nami chidori holds the meaning of "overcoming rough seas together." And the arabesque design is considered a symbol of longevity and prosperity of offsprings, as arabesque, the vine, extends its stems in all directions.

While Kutani ware is loved for its vibrant colors, the hachi-kutani series features sauce plates all in white. Thick overglaze paint with traditional Japanese paints brings out a sense of luxury. The porcelain is painted with an elegant traditional pattern, inspired by the snow of Hakusan (Mt. Hakusan), and is trimmed with an iron glaze. 

This small plate can be used for sauce, condiments, pickles, and other small items such as accessories. It has a beautiful and simple design that matches any item. There are eight different patterns in total, so you can choose your favorite one or use different patterns with your family.
