Shichita Mino Yaki Cat Karakusa Pattern Plate 

This plate from the Shichita Mino Yaki series features a cheeky cat peeking from behind a bold karakusa (arabesque) pattern in deep indigo blue. The swirling motif is traditionally used in Japanese ceramics to symbolise longevity and prosperity, while the cat adds a touch of mischief and humour.

Each piece is crafted in the Mino region, known for its centuries-old ceramic heritage. The pattern wraps across a third of the plate, creating a balanced yet eye-catching design that feels both classic and contemporary.

This plate is available in two versatile sizes, 13cm and 16.5cm. Please select your desired size.
