Snowflake-Shaped Flowers and Birds Motif Sauce Plate

This elegant sauce plate is crafted by Takayama, renowned for Hasami porcelain. In the timeless blue and white of sometsuke, it features a classic pattern of kacho-sokaflowers, birds, and grass. The rim is delightfully formed into a snowflake, the delicate ripples and cut-outs representing the snow’s precious crystals. The gentle conical slope to the base and the ripples left by the potter’s hands add another touch of charm.

The plate’s size is ideal for sides and small desserts like wagashi, and traditional Japanese sweets. The shape stacks neatly with other designs for easy storage. It’s an excellent choice for newcomers to Japanese tableware and for those looking to mix and match pieces.

This cute yet sophisticated piece adds a sense of depth and elegance to any dining experience.
