Blue and white small floral pattern fluted mini plate

Like a dainty flower in bloom, this small, artistic plate fits in the palm of your hand. Shaped in the "rinka" style with delicate petals, each plate is meticulously hand-painted with charming "kobana-mon" (small floral crest) designs using traditional sometsuke (underglaze blue) techniques. Even smaller than regular mamezara (small plates), this "mame-mamezara" (tiny plate) is perfect for serving a small pinch of salt, shichimi (seven-spice blend), or wasabi. Arranging a few of these plates on a larger dish or an oshiki (serving tray) instantly adds a touch of elegance to your dining table. This lovely piece also makes an excellent accessory tray for holding your favorite rings or earrings.
