Presenting a Seto ware acorn plate, meticulously crafted in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture.

Embark on a whimsical journey as you delight in gathering Totoro figurines and contemplating the myriad possibilities of what to adorn within. Let your imagination soar as you explore the enchanting world within this exquisite plate.

Nakagawa created an ``acorn plate'' that allows you to enjoy the texture of pottery.
Lively characters that seem to jump out of the plate. The exquisite size is slightly larger than a small plate, so it can be used as a display tray for small items or as an interior decoration.

Crafted from Seto ware, renowned as the epitome of "Setomono."

Crafted from Mizugi Pottery, a renowned establishment in Seto, Aichi Prefecture with a legacy spanning four generations.

This piece embodies character through intricate three-dimensional engravings, with glaze delicately applied only to the surrounding areas. Adorned with exquisite patterns of leaves and flowers encircling the character, it's designed to evoke a sensory experience. From the tactile pleasure of running one's fingers over the contrasting textures of glazed and unglazed surfaces to the mesmerizing three-dimensional effect, every aspect invites exploration and appreciation.

• The central part of the plate is unglazed. If you use this product with strongly scented or deeply colored foods or liquids, there may be a transfer of smell and color that cannot be completely removed. Please exercise caution when selecting what to place in it during use.

Usage Guidelines:

• Due to the unglazed portions, do not use this product on open flames, induction cooktops (IH), microwaves, ovens, or in dishwashers.
• When cleaning, we recommend using a soft sponge to avoid potential scratching that may result from excessive rubbing with abrasive detergents or metal scrubbing brushes.
• Avoid prolonged soaking. After washing, gently dry the product with a soft cloth and ensure thorough drying. Store it in a well-ventilated area.
• Ceramics have the ability to retain moisture, so even if it appears dry, there may still be some residual dampness inside. It is essential to ensure complete drying to prevent the development of mold, stains, or odors.
