This dinner plate is a splendid piece showcasing the artistry of hand-painted blue drawings on fine, durable Mikawachi porcelain. The rim is made in the shape of the petals of the balloon flower and the dynamic curves of branches are a sign of sophistication. As the flowers and leaves elegantly sprout across the plate, charming blue birds add more life.

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 onto the porcelain. The dye "sinks" into the clay, creating a gentle and soft shade of blue. The outlines are drawn swiftly with precision and care using soft and fine brushes along the contours of the flowers and leaves. 

These hand-painted blue paintings will certainly enhance the presentation of your dish. Be it for sushi, sashimi or tempura, you can enjoy the serenity and elegance of Japanese blue and white porcelain with this plate.
