This 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.

Perfect as a sauce plate, it is versatile to serve any small food such as cheese, nuts, and condiments.

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

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.
