Elegant appearance
A 5-inch plate that brightens up your dining table. 
The Old Imari style design was called "Old Imari" and was loved by European royalty and aristocrats. It is decorated with rich colors and a gorgeous silver pattern on top of the colored painting. Although it expresses traditional patterns, the unique coloring gives it a somewhat oriental feel. 
For everyday dining and celebrations
The smooth texture of the pottery is just the right size that you'll want to use. 
We shared some fried chicken and salad from the large platter we all gathered around. It's very convenient to use as a bowl for one person, and to serve assorted sashimi and appetizers. 
It also looks great on top of Western sweets, such as shortcake with strawberries on top. The utensils are decorated with auspicious classical patterns and are useful for celebratory occasions such as birthdays and longevity.

| Recommended maintenance by the pottery | ・Ginsai pottery changes color when it reacts with sulfur in the air. In that case, use commercially available silver polishing paper or a dry cloth with toothpaste and lightly polish it. Please be careful not to rub too hard as this may cause scratches. ・Since it has a silver overlay, please wash it with a mild detergent and a soft sponge. ・Do not use metal scrubbers. ・Do not leave food on it for a long time, and wash it at a reasonable amount of time. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・Avoid using egg dishes as much as possible as silver reacts quickly. ・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Small iron powder or paint chips may be seen on the surface of the pottery, but it has passed the manufacturer's inspection standards, and we only handle products that do not pose any problems when used. Thank you for your understanding. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
About the style and atmosphere
The kotohogu series of pottery is gorgeously painted in bright colors. In ancient Japan, expressing words of congratulation was called ``kotohogu''. This is a beautiful Japanese word that has been passed down from ancient times, wishing that the other person's happiness and longevity will come true. These containers are filled with such feelings and are useful not only for everyday use, but also as gifts for loved ones. 
The black spots that appear on the silver part are one of the characteristics of platinum-plated pottery. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same.

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.
