Monotone Flower Small Plates

These Monotone Flower Small Plates are part of a series of dishes called Kanesan 1893, a series of original modern tableware created by Kanesan Shoten. To express a warm texture, the design is created using a mixture of slip and paint. The raised slip gives it a three-dimensional feel and a soft atmosphere. Based on a monochrome concept, a bold pattern is combined and carved to create a vessel with depth. We recommend using it as a set with the rice bowl from the same series.

These plates are the perfect tableware for small portions of something, herbs or salts, or as a compliment on a charcuterie board to hold olives, pickles or mustard. 

Details: 

• Dimensions: 4.25" in diameter, approximately .5" deep
• Made in Japan

Meet the Makers

Kanesan Shoten is a 6th generation wholesaler of ceramics from Seto, Japan established in 1893. They specialize in Mino Ware – a type of pottery crafted in the historic ceramic region of Gifu, Japan. Mino ware (美濃焼) carries over 1,300 years of artisanal heritage. Known for its earthy textures and understated beauty, each piece reflects the quiet harmony between craftsmanship and nature. As a sanchi tonya (local wholesale distributor) Kanesan Shoten takes the role of working together with local kilns to develop original products very seriously. 

With subtle glazes, organic forms, and a warm, tactile finish, Mino ware fits effortlessly into modern life while preserving timeless Japanese aesthetics. Whether used daily or on special occasions, these ceramics bring a moment of calm and presence to every table. Kanesan Shoten hopes people will rediscover the beauty of Japanese ceramics that flourishes in Seto. With that belief, they continue to share these pieces with you.
