Heron and Willow Sauce Plate

The sauce plate features a heron with a long beak painted in the yellow background. With the Yoshidaya style, a famous traditional style of Kutani ware, the combination of bright colors makes this small yet powerful piece of artwork stand out.

The heron depicted on the plate is known as a bird that brings good luck. The willow branches hanging down on the heron is also known to be a lucky plant due to its resilient nature and the first to bud in the spring.

Made to wish its owner’s fortune, the lucky plate is a wonderful gift to yourself or gift for your loved ones.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it is also versatile to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small foods.

Furthermore, 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.
