The edge ripples the whole way round, as though a square of cloth had been dropped on the table and left where it fell. Nothing about it is straight.

The cats gather along one side only and the rest is left clear, which is the useful part. It suits two or three of something rather than a meal: a couple of slices of cake, a few pieces of grilled fish, whatever is put out beside the tea.

Turn it over and there is a fine net texture pressed into the foot, and the mark of the kiln that painted it.
Material
Arita porcelain, hand-painted and glazed. The base is left unglazed.
Dimensions
14.3 x 14.3 cm and 2.8 cm deep. A side plate rather than a serving platter, sized for one or two portions.
Weight
175 g
Made in
Japan
Care
Dishwasher and microwave safe. Not suitable for oven use.
Every piece is painted by hand, so the position of the cats, the depth of the colour and the expressions differ from one to the next. The rippled edge is formed by hand and no two are identical. These variations belong to the making rather than being faults.
Suitable for
Cake, sweets, grilled fish, small sides. An individual plate, or a shared dish for something small.

About the maker
Hachiemon Kiln began in 1879, when Mori Koichiro, the fourth generation of his family in the trade, had pottery stone brought by sea from Amakusa and carted inland to a mill where a water wheel crushed it into clay. The kiln took its present name in 1919 and works today in Arita, the town where porcelain was first made in Japan, from stone found at Izumiyama. It trades as Daikei, and a Mori still runs it.
