Product variants

Made in Japan, this small ceramic set comes in a cute gift box and features one-of-a-kind, curled-up cats. The hand-drawn designs include feline friends that are striped, spotted, blue and more; the raised ears give the rounded plates a sculptural feel in your hand. Use the plates to serve pickled veggies, smaller bites and desserts alongside a meal; the deeper sauce dishes are great for soy sauce, condiments and dipping oils. All are beautiful and give a modern answer to traditional Japanese blue and white pottery, called arita ware. No two cats are alike, each one will have its own marking due to plates’ handmade nature. Set of four available in Small Plate or Sauce Dish sets; buy both sets to mix and match for hosting or gifting.

What’s the story behind the blue-and-white Japanese pottery?

While blue and white was a popular color scheme everywhere from China to Holland, Japan wasn’t able to produce it until the early 17th century when suitable clay for porcelain—which offers the stark white background—was found in Arita by immigrant Korean potters. The style of these first pieces is known as early Imari and they typically feature free-flowing strokes of cobalt blue on a bright white surface.
