Kutani ware that brings happiness

On the white oval plate, there is a swallow flying gracefully. The hand-painting creates a charm to want to use at everyday dining.

For daily use

The oval plate has a beautiful blue painting and has a swallow in the center. In Japan, swallows fly around in the spring and sometimes nest under the eaves of homes. It has long been said that houses with swallow nests become flourish, and swallows have been popular as spring messengers for longevity, richness, and love. Since swallows have such a meaning, the plate would be a perfect gift for a wedding and moving.

The plate goes well with grilled fish, marinades, and ratatouille. It is also good for serving pasta.
