Miyama icue Japanese Side Plate - 13cm - Sumire Purple
Gift Wrapping Service
Make your gift unforgettable from the moment it arrives. Our Japanese-style wrapping service transforms your order into a beautifully presented package — high-quality paper featuring traditional motifs of florals, fans, and classic geometric patterns, tissue lining to protect fragile pieces, and a coordinating ribbon finish.
$4.90 per gift wrap — one beautifully wrapped box. Our team selects the right box size for what you've bought and combines multiple items into a single box wherever they fit. Wrapping for multiple recipients? Simply add this service to your cart once for each gift.
Before You Order — Please Read
1. Not all items can be gift wrapped. Look for the "Gift wrapping available" note on the product page. Larger items such as rice cookers and konro or hibachi grills cannot be wrapped due to their size or original packaging.
2. Want only some items wrapped? If your order contains both gift items and self-purchases — say, 10 items but only 5 are gifts — please leave a note in the order instructions at checkout telling us which items to wrap. Alternatively, email us after placing your order, or place your gifts as a separate order.
3. Need more than one box? Each gift wrap covers one box (largest 43.5 × 31 × 15 cm — roughly wok-size). If your items won't fit in a single box, we'll contact you before dispatch — you can either add another gift wrap ($4.90 per additional box) or have your order split differently.
How to Add Gift Wrapping
- Look for the "Gift wrapping available" note on eligible product pages.
- Add this Gift Wrap service to your cart — once for each gift / box you'd like wrapped.
- Include your personalised gift message in the order instructions field at checkout — we'll add it to a card inside the package.
- We'll choose the right box, wrap with care, and include a gift invoice that shows the contents without any pricing.

Miyama icue Japanese Side Plate - 13cm - Sumire Purple
The Miyama icue (いくえ) Side Plate in Sumire Purple offers a compact, contemporary alternative to the standard round side plate. Its square-rimmed silhouette with softly rounded corners is finished in a delicate violet glaze, while subtle horizontal ridges — the layered texture the icue series is named for — add quiet sculptural depth to the fine porcelain surface.
At 13cm, the plate is well suited as a small serving dish for appetisers, desserts, or individual side portions. The form transitions from a square-inspired rim to a stable circular base, reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship characteristic of contemporary Mino ware.
What's Included
- 1 x Miyama icue Side Plate - 13cm (Sumire Purple)
Also available in the Miyama icue Plate & Bowl Set, with the breakfast plate and small bowl.
