A quietly characterful plate made in Arita, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, and created with local kilns. It is part of Nakagawa’s tableware series, designed to let you enjoy Japanese pottery from different regions in a casual, everyday way.

Decorated using Arita’s traditional inban stamping technique, each plate carries its own gentle variations in tone and line. The patterns feature two auspicious motifs: a dust-like arabesque for prosperity, and a chrysanthemum for longevity. 

This is a versatile 22cm plate - perfect for your main or for your one plate lunch.
Also comes in a smaller side dish size to pair.

[Before First Use]
To prevent staining and protect the fine surface cracks (crazing), we recommend performing the following preparation steps:

1. Place the ceramic item in a pot with rice rinsing water (or, plain water with a handful of uncooked rice or table spoon of flour)
2. Heat over medium-low heat until just before boiling
3. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes
4. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature in the liquid
5. Remove, wash thoroughly with mild detergent, and dry completely before use

This traditional "sealing" process fills the microscopic pores in the clay, helping to prevent stains and extend the life of your ceramic piece.
