A Shigaraki ware flower-shaped plate that brightens up your dining table

Furutani Pottery's "Rinka Deep Plate, Small, Russet Glaze" is a Shigaraki ware flower-shaped deep plate that brightens up your dining table. It has a matte texture and a chic, antique-like feel, and its dark color brings out the contours of the food, making the colors appear more vivid.

The size is perfect as a small plate for soy sauce or dipping sauces, or for serving pickles and small side dishes. The flower-petal design subtly enhances the food and adds a touch of elegance to your dining table.

By placing the food in the center and leaving some space around it, the petals beautifully highlight the dish. In addition, the slightly raised rim allows you to safely serve dishes with a bit of liquid.
