Long Rectangular Plate by Tamori Touen
The Long Rectangular Plate by Tamori Touen embodies the quiet beauty of Japanese craftsmanship. Its elongated form (9 in × 5.3 in × 0.9 in / 230 × 135 × 23 mm) is perfectly suited for serving fillets, rolled omelets, and side dishes with balance and grace. The fine porcelain body is adorned with hand-drawn horizontal lines, each slightly irregular, evoking the warmth of artisan work rather than machine uniformity. The cool gray base tone, reminiscent of antique ceramics, makes this piece blend seamlessly into both rustic and modern interiors.
Unlike ordinary dinnerware, this plate transforms simple dishes into a visual experience. Grilled fish appears more appetizing when framed by its soft lines, while colorful side dishes pop against the calm gray background. Whether used for Japanese meals, tapas, or dessert platings, its versatility ensures it becomes a daily favorite. Each plate carries tiny natural iron spots from the firing process—considered a hallmark of genuine ceramic beauty and authenticity.
Tamori Touen is known for creating porcelain that balances tradition and everyday practicality. This plate is dishwasher-safe, making it convenient for daily use, while its timeless design ensures it will never feel out of place, whether at a casual family meal or a carefully curated dinner setting. Its rectangular shape also allows for space-saving presentation on trays or multi-course dining tables.
Note: The small dark spots visible on the surface are natural iron deposits formed during firing, a hallmark of authentic Japanese ceramics that adds unique character to each piece.

Why is Arita porcelain special?
Arita porcelain combines technical precision with a long tradition of decorative craftsmanship. Its fine, hard porcelain body allows for crisp forms and detailed decoration, while generations of specialist makers have developed distinctive glazing, painting and firing techniques.
Where is Arita ware made?
Arita ware is made in the town of Arita and the surrounding ceramic region of Saga Prefecture on Kyushu, in southern Japan. The area remains closely associated with porcelain production more than four centuries after the craft first developed there.
