Product Description
This product is a meticulously handcrafted Kutani ware small plate, made with careful craftsmanship, one piece at a time. Whether you're hosting a tea party or enjoying a cozy dinner, this small plate inspired by a cute cat motif is versatile and sure to impress your guests.
In Japan, tableware with cat patterns is believed to symbolize good luck and prosperity. In particular, the image of a beckoning cat (maneki necos in Japanese) or lucky cat is widely known, and the use of such patterns is believed to bring good luck and happiness.
In Nomi City, the heartland of historically rooted Kutani ware, a new kiln named "Soukyuu kiln" opened its doors in 2017 and immediately became the talk of the town. Embodying the warmth and charm of handmade craftsmanship, they produce a colorful range of pieces, each with its own unique character, that fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles and add a touch of sophistication to chic, contemporary dining tables in a Japanese modern style.
