Naoko Murakami's antique series adds a stylish touch to your daily table while evoking a sense of warmth and nostalgia. These deeply expressive pieces feature a rough white, brown, or black base, with prominent iron spots and cracks that develop during firing. With sizes and shapes that are easy to use as tableware, they will add color to your dining table. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but their practicality also makes them ideal as gifts. Even when not in use, they are beautiful as part of your interior decor. The antique-style square dishes look wonderful whether used individually or paired with small plates. They can also be used as accessory holders or interior decorations, not just as tableware. ＜Care Instructions＞ Sealing: Not required Dishwasher: Not strictly forbidden, but not recommended due to the risk of chipping or damage.
