Meticulously handcrafted by adept artisans, the Yoshita Kasho Maki-e glass rectangular plate is a paragon of exquisite craftsmanship, effortlessly uniting the peerless quality of glass with a pioneering technique. This involves the integration of hand-painted Maki-e, employing natural lacquer, harmoniously combined with the esteemed Kanazawa gold leaf, presenting a piece where finesse and tradition resonate in every detail.

This plate stands out with its unique design, featuring the “Ryusui” or water stream pattern, delicately accentuated with sprinkles of blue shells. Every plate, hand-painted and adorned, carries a distinctiveness, a testament to its handmade origin.

The belt of gold leaf beneath the glass lends it a sophisticated elegance, with an outer protective paint ensuring durability and safeguarding the intricate designs from scratches and wear. The smooth top surface retains a touch of artisanal waviness, and its grid-designed base ensures stability on tables.
