Square Plate with Gold Trim, Two Butterflies a

This square plate features a graceful depiction of butterflies fluttering in the pottery studio's garden during spring. With its warm colors and soft texture, this piece evokes a subtle Japanese beauty and a sense of the season. This vessel is created by shaping Shigaraki clay on a potter's wheel into a square plate, onto which butterflies are meticulously hand-painted and the edges are delicately gilded before firing. The gold trim lends a understated elegance to the butterflies. Applying gold in painting is technically challenging, requiring careful attention to temperature and humidity control during the process. The slightly raised edges make it easy to arrange food, allowing you to enjoy plating that highlights the design. This piece pairs effortlessly with other tableware, whether Japanese or Western, making it a thoughtful choice for entertaining or as a gift. You can also appreciate how its character deepens with use. 15.0cm x 15.0cm Height 3.0cm Weight 240g *Not suitable for use in microwave ovens, dishwashers, ovens, or with abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.*
