Adorable expression
This small plate has the shape of a cat itself and is so cute. 
When you put a side dish on top, you can almost hear the kitten say, "Sniff! Smells so good..." This pottery is sure to be a hit at your dining table. 
Working kitten
It's the perfect size for placing pickles, pickled vegetables, and other non-chocolate items on top. If you put olive oil or jam on top and place it in the center of the table, it will look cute when you reach for it! It's moderately deep, so it's okay even if it's a little juicy, such as sweetly boiled chestnuts. I'm sure he'll put it on his face as if he just wanted to taste it. 
It comes in a cute presentation box, so it's perfect as a gift for your loved ones.

About the style and atmosphere
The Harekutani series uses traditional paints that are unique to Kutani ware, but blends in with modern lifestyles. The gentle and friendly design is attractive and gently relieves the tension in your shoulders. Just before dawn, the box looks like a jade-colored sky, with the Harektani logo reminiscent of a sunrise. A special day for you and your loved ones. At times like these, I feel like giving a gift. When I opened the box, it was so cute that it made me smile. “May your daily dining table be bright and cheerful.” With such a kind wish.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
