This is a horizontal chrysanthemum-shaped plate by Zuiho Kiln of Arita porcelain. The metallic color is gorgeous, and the outside is coated with a matte black glaze. 

Chrysanthemum is a shape often used in Japanese tableware. Chrysanthemums have meanings such as "love" and "true strength" and are known as an auspicious motif.

This small plate comes in two colors, gold and silver. The gold has a warmer feel and the silver a cooler impression. This plate is suitable for everyday use as well as for festive table settings. 

This plate is designed to suit a dish called tsukidashi as served in Japanese restaurants. Tsukidashi is a small dish that is served first as a snack with sake.

It can be used not only for Japanese cuisine, but also for desserts, fruits, and various other dishes.
