Arita Ware Koraku Kiln Gold and Silver Glaze Gourd-Shaped Mini Dish 9.5cm (Amber Glaze / White Porcelain)
Bring "good fortune" to your table. A modern gourd-shaped mini dish with a shimmering gold and silver glaze, crafted by Arita Ware's Koraku Kiln.
This Arita Ware mini dish features a gourd motif, which has long been cherished by the Japanese as a lucky charm for warding off disasters and inviting good fortune due to its expanding shape.
Measuring a compact 9.5cm that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, its plump, adorable form and the vibrant gold and silver glazes applied to it exude an exceptionally elegant presence on the dining table.
The Contrast of Sophisticated "Matte Texture" and "Sparkle"
The surface of the dish has a high-quality, "matte and smooth" texture that feels comfortable in the hand. It is precisely this calm base texture that allows the gold and silver decorations on the rim and center to stand out elegantly without being overly flashy. The deep amber color (amber glaze) brings a Japanese warmth, while the translucent white porcelain presents a modern and dignified look.
Each Meticulously Handcrafted Piece, a Source of Pride for Koraku Kiln, a Renowned Transferware Kiln
Koraku Kiln is highly renowned among Arita Ware for its advanced "transfer" technique. The beautiful gold and silver patterns applied to this product are also meticulously hand-transferred by Koraku Kiln's artisans, one by one.
Applying transfers to uneven surfaces with curves and undulations, such as this gourd shape, without wrinkles or misalignment, requires a highly skilled hand. The balanced and dignified finish breathes life into the precise craftsmanship characteristic of a renowned kiln.
Versatile Practicality for Special Occasions and Everyday Use
The auspicious combination of "gourd shape x gold and silver glaze" is perfect for osechi ryori during New Year's or for special celebrations. In daily use, it serves wonderfully as a soy sauce dish for sashimi, a condiment holder, or a small dish for salt and spices. It's an incredibly versatile piece that blends seamlessly not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western table settings like French and Italian.
While typical gold-glazed dishes are not microwave-safe, this product uses a special gold and silver glaze made from mica and other raw materials, allowing it to be reheated in the microwave.
It overturns the perception that "gold-glazed dishes are difficult to handle," offering practical appeal that aligns with modern lifestyles. You can use it without hesitation not only for special occasions like New Year's but also for everyday dining.
*To maintain its beautiful shimmer for a long time, we recommend gentle hand washing rather than using a dishwasher.
