This is a matte white-colored sauce plate in the shape of a gourd by Zuiho Kiln of Arita porcelain. It has carved edges with a metallic coating of gold or silver. The thickness of the porcelain makes it sturdy and easy to handle.

Gourd is known to bring good fortune and is a symbol of lasting posterity and business success in Japan.

Perfect size as a sauce plate. It is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small foods. You can also put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate, or into a bento box for a more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
