Pastel accents for the table: Teshio Kaizukushi Asari
Look closely at these unusual pastel-coloured small plates and you will find a balanced combination of lifelike shell shapes and carefully carved relief. Introducing Kaizukushi Asari from Teshio, POTPURRI's small-plate collection: charming little pieces that invite you to pick them up.
Add colour to the table
A few small colourful plates can brighten your everyday table. Shell motifs work well beyond summer, too. In autumn and winter, when roasted dishes and stews take centre stage, try adding one to a table that might otherwise lean towards shades of brown.
A little plate that doubles as a chopstick rest
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.
A different delicate pattern in every colour
The carved shell pattern emerges through soft variations in the glaze. Each colour has a different pattern, adding to the pleasure of choosing and using these dishes.
A small gift to show you care
Bright, pastel-coloured and small enough to sit in your palm, this charming plate makes a lovely birthday gift or little token of appreciation. It comes in a box bearing the Teshio mark, wrapped with a band featuring our salt-crystal logo.
The craft of making by hand
From the first shaping to the final firing, every Kaizukushi Asari plate reflects the care of its makers.
After carving a series of clay models to explore the shape, the chosen form is carved in plaster. A mould is taken from this model and filled with liquid clay to produce the plates. They are dried, biscuit-fired, smoothed, glazed and fired again. Each stage brings the finished dish to life.
About Teshio, POTPURRI's small-plate brand
Named after the teshio-zara, considered one possible origin of small Japanese plates, Teshio is a brand that puts heartfelt care into these little dishes.
Long ago, as part of beliefs associated with salt, a small dish of salt was placed in the corner of a dining tray to purify the meal setting. This little dish, which fits in the palm of a hand, is called a teshio-zara.
Over time, these small plates became pieces for enjoying food. Their presence adds character to the table.
We fire each piece in our Tokyo workshop and send it out with the hope that its owner will cherish it and enjoy using it for years.

Modelled on the familiar asari clam, this small plate's carved shell pattern emerges through soft variations in the glaze.
