Table coordination using Arita ware pots

This is a coordination using an oval pot from Koyo Kiln.
The bright green of the penne and spinach really stands
out.
As you can see from the photo, the oval shape saves space because it is narrow.
It fits in the gaps between
other utensils, so it's great for home parties where you need a lot of items.

Table coordination using checked hexagonal pots in different sizes.
I put a small bowl on a large bowl to make one plate.
This is a great idea that can be used from breakfast to
dinner.
The overlapping plaid patterns give the table a fun atmosphere.
Coordination using a small camellia bowl.
By grouping small pots into a tray, you can create an atmosphere
similar to a set meal restaurant.
