Kajitsu Fig Small Plate Set of 2 (Purple × Green)

A series of fruit-shaped small plates that double as chopstick rests.
A pair of Fig plates: green glaze represents the fruit before ripening, while deep purple depicts its deliciously ripe stage.

Vivid green and deep purple glassy glazes give the endearing shape a character that is not overly sweet.

Use it for condiments or butter at the table, or as a tasting dish in the kitchen. Its presence alone creates a charming little scene.

Use and care
Keep out of the microwave.

Do not use in the oven.

• Craftspeople apply a thin glaze to each piece by hand, allowing it to pool at the bottom and create gradients across the surface.

Seal the surface before first use.

Seasoning seals the open pores of the clay and helps keep stains from entering the glaze’s fine crazing. Repeating the process periodically helps seal these fine cracks so you can enjoy the piece for longer.
Put rice-rinsing water in a saucepan, stir well and bring it to the boil. Turn off the heat and place the piece in the water. Let the saucepan cool slowly for about an hour. Once completely cool, rinse away the starchy film with water and dry thoroughly.

This collection has a fine crackle pattern in the surface glaze, known as crazing. Dark-coloured drinks and foods may stain these fine lines.
