ALEXCIOUS is a global EC site that gathers Japan's finest products and is purchased from over 70 countries worldwide.
Featuring designs based on the original Kutani artifacts in Ishikawa Prefecture’s Museum of Art collection, these small side plates are traditionally hand-crafted Kutani pieces. Five vibrant overglaze colors (green, yellow, red, purple and blue) give Kutani its characteristic beauty, with yellow and green being the most well known combination.
An ideal little gift as it can be used for display or soy sauce dipping, each set comes with little plastic stands and is supplied in a box. Though the plates are both dishwasher and microwave safe, washing by hand is recommended to maintain the rich colors of their overglaze surfaces.
Kutani-yaki is a distinctive Japanese porcelain style well known for its vibrant colors and striking designs covering most of the surface area of each piece. Production began in 1655 in the mountain village of Kutani (in present-day Ishikawa Prefecture) after the discovery of high-quality potter's clay in the area. Its heavily overglazed, bold designs enjoyed huge popularity for the next few decades until closing abruptly in 1730! This period of production is referred to as Kokutani (Old Kutani) and is considered separate from the work of later years. In 1810, kutani-yaki was revived with several new overglaze painting techniques being developed that continue to characterize the style to this day.
