Know before you buy
Doban Tensha is a traditional Japanese transfer printing technique. It is used here to apply the polka dot pattern, resulting in a unique, slightly faded aesthetic that gives each piece an artisanal, hand-finished look.
No, this plate is not microwave, oven, or dishwasher safe. To preserve the ceramic finish and the integrity of the pattern, we recommend hand washing only.
The plate features a specialized indentation along its edge designed to hold a pair of chopsticks or a small piece of cutlery. It is a practical feature that helps keep your table clean while serving single portions.
The half-moon shape is specifically designed for single-serving presentations, such as appetizers, salads, or small side dishes. While it offers a striking visual, please note that it is not stackable, so you will need to account for its unique footprint in your cupboard.
This plate is crafted from traditional Arita ceramic, which is durable but not specifically engineered to be chip-resistant. Like most fine artisanal ceramics, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts.
