Japanese Art Plates & Tea Trays – Handcrafted Decorative Pottery from Chikoyaki

Overview Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Japanese aesthetics with this exquisite Blue and White (Sometsuke) ceramic plate. Representing the harmony between nature and craftsmanship, this piece features a striking contrast between deep cobalt blue glaze and a creamy white porcelain base, making it a captivating addition to any collection.

Design & Artistry The centerpiece of the plate showcases a detailed bird and flower medallion (Kacho-ga), symbolizing beauty and the changing seasons. Surrounding the central art is a dynamic, radiating geometric border that draws the eye inward, creating a sense of depth and movement often seen in traditional Arita or Seto style wares. The intricate line work demonstrates the precision of Japanese pottery techniques.

Versatile Elegance Whether mounted on a wall as a statement piece, displayed on a stand (as shown), or used to serve appetizers during a tea ceremony, this plate bridges the gap between art and utility. It pairs perfectly with both rustic wood furniture and modern minimalist interiors.
