Japanese vintage handcraft small plate, KINTUSGI porcelain ceramic dish Blue White relief pattern flower SOMETSUKE 3.9in/10cm.

This is a small plate made from Taisho to early Showa period, sold as a single piece, not as a set.
This is called Sometsuke, a technique of hand-painting patterns in indigo. This technique was often used for Imari ware.
Flower-like patterns and arabesque patterns unique to Japan are depicted. Chips and other defects are repaired by a technique called kintsugi.
All are handmade, and each has a slightly different shape.
Please enjoy the used atmosphere and the individuality of each piece.

Mame-dare is often used in Japanese kaiseki cuisine. For example, pickles and condiments are placed on them. Japanese cuisine has a unique custom of serving dishes of different flavors on separate plates. This allows one to directly taste the flavor of each dish and ingredient. Another interesting aspect of Japanese cuisine is the ability to add seasonings and other ingredients on the spot to personalize the dish to one's own taste.

Another use is to hold accessories. This type of cooking is very popular in Japan.
