Design that brings smiles to the dining table
A bird-shaped medium plate with cute round eyes. 
A chubby bird's casual hospitality. When the sweets arrive on this plate, everyone can't help but think they're cute! I feel like I can't help but say this in unison. The lace-like pattern around the neck is also stylish and is sure to be a hit at the dinner table. 
Perfect for children
The size is about 5 inches, which is perfect for placing side dishes for one person. 
The edges are raised, so it's okay even if it's a little juicy, such as with komatsuna ohitashi. If you make it a plate for your child, you can add meat and vegetables as a side to make it a one-plate meal. Serve the fried shrimp with potato salad and cherry tomatoes, and you'll be able to enjoy your meal with the birds. 
It comes in a cute presentation box, so it's perfect as a gift for your loved ones.

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.
