This sauce plate features a geometric pattern in ko-Kutani style, one of the most famous traditional styles of Kutani ware.

Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted bird is slightly thickened and standing out.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small foods.

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