Miyama Luonto Cutlery Rest - Kaamos Purple

The Miyama Luonto Cutlery Rest is part of the Luonto collection, named after the Finnish word for "nature." Featuring soft, organic curves that feel naturally shaped by hand, each piece is finished in colours inspired by the skies and landscapes of the Nordic region — and the series celebrates the subtle variations in tone and shading that occur during the ceramic-making process as part of each piece's individual character.

The Kaamos Purple colourway is inspired by Finland's polar night — a soft pale purple glaze that adds a calm and elegant touch to the dining table.

This versatile mini dish serves equally well as a soy sauce dish, condiment plate, chopstick rest, or cutlery rest. It looks especially charming when several pieces in different colourways are arranged together on a larger serving plate.
