Phoenix Sauce Plate
This sauce plate features a phoenix, a symbol of immortality, love, and happiness, in ko-Kutani (old Kutani) style, which is known as depicting nature-themed designs and distinctive bright colors of Kutani ware.
The phoenix beautifully showcases the traditional five Kutani colors, gosai—red, yellow, green, purple, and dark blue.
Perfect as a sauce plate, it is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small food. Or you may put a small portion of food or relishes in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
You can use this plate on your dining table, or this will be a great gift for your loved one who might be interested in the world of traditional Japanese artwork.
