A small accent on the dining table
This bellflower shaped plate has a cute hand-painted flower pattern. 
A design featuring Gosu(blue) flowers and gold accents. The fine incisions all over the vessel and the slowly seeing glaze add depth to the taste. 
The material is semi-porcelain, which combines the best features of earthenware with the warmth of earth and durable and dignified porcelain. When there are many simple plates on the dining table, the flower pattern will make a fun accent.
Size that is useful at the dining table
Assemble small portions of sashimi and appetizers for one person. We shared some fried chicken and salad from the large platter we all gathered around. It has a moderate depth, so it can be used for somewhat juicy dishes such as boiled fish. 
A 5-inch medium plate is a very useful item. You can also stack them, so you can have enough for your family or guests.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. In addition, the thickness of the pattern and the shade of color are each different. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Arita ware
Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many products that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.
