*Sales price has changed due to price revision. (December 2023)
Tasteful appearance
It is a small plate with a gentle appearance that blends in with your daily life. 
Tokusa is a traditional pattern that has been popular in Japan since ancient times. You can feel the gentleness that can only be achieved by hand in the lines that are carefully added one by one with a brush. 
The iron powder that appears little by little and the bending of the edges are also attractive. The muted color makes it easy to match with any dish, making it a staple on your dining table.
For snacks and side dishes
Add some pickled plums and pickles to match the cute plum shape. It would also be nice to line up a lot of small trays and arrange them on a tray. 
For snack time, how about some bean sweets or rice crackers? I think it would be useful as an accent on a dining table lined with round pots.

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. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied by hand, 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There may be small holes or dents in the material, but this does not affect its use. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
