This is a Unryu plate in turquoise by the popular artist, Kazuhito Higashi. These rare pieces sell out immediately when he holds an exhibition. I purchased this at an exhibition. The color is very vibrant and beautiful. It can be used as a chopstick rest or a rest for forks, and also as a small bowl for dishes. It would also be lovely for serving chocolates, cookies, or Japanese sweets with coffee, tea, or Japanese tea. Although unused, please understand that this is a pre-owned item that has been stored at home. I am listing other pieces by this artist from time to time. Please let me know if you would like to combine shipping.
