Floral Plum-Shaped Sauce Plate

This plum-shaped blue and white sauce plate is made by Le Sanpei Kiln, the discoverer of white porcelain ore. Its thick, rounded edge creates a soft and inviting presence.

For early Imari, the underglaze blue painted patterns are simple, often painted freely with blue paint called gosu. When fired, the base color of the ware becomes slightly tinted and has a semi-glossy appearance.

It is a perfect size for serving sauces or snacks like nuts and candies.

Also, you can put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
