Small Plates to Brighten the Table

Small plates to have ready
when welcoming guests

Choosing the table's small supporting pieces

There are many attractive small plates, but thoughtful design makes the difference in everyday use. Teshio focuses on these little companions, creating pieces to reach for meal after meal.

Kingunjō expresses the energy and delicacy of life around water through vivid ultramarine underglaze painting and gold decoration.

A touch of Kingunjō's gold adds brightness without losing a quiet elegance, making it lovely for guests or celebrations. A little depth holds sauces or dressings, so the plates work for sweets, side dishes and condiments.

Aigunjō depicts familiar flowers, plants and plovers in vivid indigo brushwork, bringing the energy of nature to the table.

The nine patterns work with Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes. Soft hand-painted lines give the quiet scenes an even gentler expression.

A generously sized small plate with a useful depth

Kaizukushi Hamaguri captures a moment of breaking sea spray in a bold pattern over a calm glaze color.

As practical as it is charming, this generously sized small plate suits snacks and pickles. Its gentle depth also makes it useful for soy sauce, condiments or sweets.

Fired at approximately 1,200°C, these dishes are dishwasher and microwave safe, making them easy to enjoy at the everyday table.

Because the two halves of a hamaguri shell fit together perfectly, the clam is traditionally a symbol of a harmonious marriage. The plate comes in a box bearing the Teshio mark, wrapped with a band featuring our salt-crystal logo.

Pastel colors for the table

Kaizukushi Asari combines unusual pastel colors with a shell-like form and fine relief. Holding one recalls the pleasure of finding a beautiful shell by the sea.

Modelled on the familiar asari clam, this little plate is also just the right size for a chopstick rest, giving you different ways to enjoy it.

These bright, palm-sized pastel plates make lovely birthday gifts or small gestures of thanks. Add a summer card with a personal message.
