Arita Ware Yozan Kiln Gosu Akae Octagonal Deep Plate – 13cm

Crafted by Yozan Kiln (与山窯) of Tsujiyo Porcelain in Arita, this elegant octagonal plate features the traditional Gosu Akae (呉須赤絵) style, with each decorative motif carefully painted by hand. The vivid red overglaze decoration creates a warm and celebratory character, while the hand-painted details give every piece subtle individuality. Its gently raised rim and shallow depth make it particularly versatile for small side dishes, pickles, fruit and appetisers, as well as dishes with a small amount of sauce or broth. The decorative design works beautifully for everyday dining while also making the plate suitable for festive occasions and special gatherings. Size: Approx.
