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 shared side-dishes, or as a dining bowl for one. Being dishwasher and microwave safe, these are durable and easy to care for. Designed and made in Japan.
