Know before you buy
This plate is perfectly sized for individual servings of desserts like cake or traditional Japanese sweets like yokan. It also functions beautifully as a small dish for candies or as a decorative accent piece.
Yes, the plate is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it convenient for everyday use. However, it is not suitable for use in an oven or over an open flame.
Because this is an authentic ceramic piece crafted in Japan, the 'old white' glaze may exhibit slight variations in tone and texture. These subtle differences are a natural part of the artisanal process and make each plate unique.
The plate measures approximately 16 cm long by 11 cm wide (6.5 inches by 4.5 inches) with a height of 2.5 cm. Its oval shape is compact enough to fit easily into most cupboard spaces.
The plate is made from durable ceramic designed for regular use. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with the same care as any fine ceramic tableware to prevent accidental chips or cracks.
