Miyama icue Japanese Side Plate - 13cm - Sumire Purple

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.
