Highly versatile, this sauce plate features citrus medica. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened. 

It is the perfect size as a sauce plate. It is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small foods. 

You may also put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
