White Urushi Rim Plate – Small

Description

I am a Small White Urushi Rim Plate. I gently cradle every dish in a wooden center wrapped with a lovingly crafted rim. Here is where flavors converge and flourish with each bite.

Curator’s Notes

This hand-carved and lacquered plate, adorned with the loveliest painterly strokes at its center, feels like a work of art beneath your fingertips. Its wide rim, with a small beveled edge, expertly crafted, frames each dish with grace, enhancing your dining experience. Mitani’s signature “White” urushi lacquer reads as the perfect neutral putty colour, providing a warm, natural backdrop. With every meal served on this plate, you’re not just enjoying food; you’re savoring the meticulous craftsmanship and passion infused into each stroke and curve. It’s a culinary canvas waiting for your creativity to unfold, promising unforgettable dining moments filled with heart and artistry. Two sizes are available, Small (shown here) and Large (available here). Either plate would be appropriate for a light serving.
