This is a set of individual plates with footed bases by Morinobu Kimura, a master of Kyo-yaki (Kyoto-style pottery). It features the celadon glaze of tsurigamade (hanging kiln technique), which was Morinobu's specialty. This piece is considered exceptional even among Morinobu's works, showcasing a highly regarded style. The footed shape is also rare, resulting in a flawless finish. Because of the footed base, these plates would be perfect for serving sashimi or appetizers at a high-end Japanese restaurant or a small, traditional eatery. There are no noticeable cracks or chips. Comes with a wooden box. Width: 15cm, Height: 4.5cm Search terms: Tsuriaoyuu (hanging blue glaze), small plate
