Arita ware | Takuma Tsuji | Morigage Ginsai Small Plate “Nanden [Vermilion]”

This is a series in which clay is raised using a technique called ``Icchin'' and decorated with silver. The small plate is designed by randomly stretching porcelain clay, and the red Nanten fruit is the focal point. Foot ring is higher than I expected, so it makes the food you serve stand out. Perfect for serving small items such as Japanese sweets, pickled plums, and pickles. The design, Nanten, has been considered auspicious since ancient times because of the rhyme of ``overcoming hardship.'' Even today, they are used as lucky charms, warding off evil spirits, and as New Year's decorations, and are sometimes displayed as New Year's flowers along with pine and bamboo at entrances and alcoves.
