A sauce plate features flying Japanese cranes as if they are dancing. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted bird is slightly thickened and standing out. The crane is known to be a symbol of longevity and prosperity.

The size is great as an extra plate. It might be good to use as a lovely saucer as well.

There are different designs for the same plate from Kutani ware so collect your favorite motifs. See more items from our Kutani ware collection to create traditional meets modern table setting.
