These charming diminutive small dishes have a delightful presence. Their origins are said to trace back to 'teshio-zara'—tiny plates for condiments produced in Arita.

In collaboration with Kaji Ken Seishi-sha, a venerable pottery that has continuously crafted ceramics in Arita for over 250 years, we've created these sometsuke (blue and white) small dishes decorated solely with cobalt blue on white porcelain. Each dish features auspicious motifs painted entirely by hand. The subtle variations in tone and delicate lines showcase the distinctive character of artisanal craftsmanship.

These plates, combining beautiful white porcelain with simple designs that enhance your cuisine, are appealing not only for entertaining guests but also for everyday dining.
