This sauce plate features red flowers and a bird, painted in the traditional ko-Kutani style. The pattern painted around the rim incorporates green, yellow, red, purple, and dark blue, which are the five colors of this Kutani ware style.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. You may also serve small portions of food or relishes, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.

You can use this plate on your dining table, or send it as a gift for a oved one who is interested in traditional Japanese artwork.
