Kutani ware items that add color
A small plate with bright and colorful colors. 
A somewhat cute appearance drawn with a soft touch. The blue and red painting stands out well on the smooth white pottery typical of Kutani ware. 
When you touch it, the plump and uneven texture of the pattern is pleasant to the touch. Even the usual dining table seems to instantly liven up your mood.
Points for the dining table
Perfect for serving small items such as pickles and condiments. Transform even a simple side dish into a great dish! 
It's also a great idea to line up some bean plates and small bowls and have fun using the containers. It can be used not only for everyday use, but also for celebrations and New Year's parties.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products.
The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged.Each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, so no two are exactly the samePlease enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] 
Because each piece is hand-painted by a craftsman, the shading of each pattern may vary. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven color. 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.
