These ceramic plates prominently feature the 'Tai' (Sea bream) in an Etegami style. Tai are seen as a symbol of good luck, as their name sounds similar to 'Omedetai' (Lucky). Tai is often served on celebratory occasions in Japan, and the artwork on these bowls are a great way to channel that luck for any meal or occasion. This size is best for sauces or side dishes for one. Being dishwasher and microwave safe, these are durable and easy to care for. Designed and made in Japan.
