Bronze-glazed hibiscus bean plate

This piece, featuring a three-dimensional design based on the gracefully blooming hibiscus (fuyo), is finished with a subdued "bronze glaze," giving it a chic and substantial appearance, as if it were an antique metalwork piece discovered at a European flea market. The charm of the bronze glaze lies in how its metallic crystals sparkle and glint at certain angles of light, revealing deep and complex gradations. The glaze pools in the delicate unevenness of the hibiscus petals, creating dramatic shadows within this small dish. Even smaller and cuter than a regular small plate, this mini size instantly envelops your usual dining table in an atmosphere of luxury, simply by adding a pinch of salt, a condiment, or a single chocolate. It is a plate that shines beautifully as an art piece, even serving as an accessory tray for gently placing your favorite rings or earrings.
