This series is named for its beautiful color that is reminiscent of  a peaceful country lake.  The unglazed border adds a rustic, handmade feeling to these pieces and creates a perfect contrast to the cool green glaze.  The smaller dishes are great for holding soaps, candles or candy.   Please note that this item has a crackle glaze as shown.  This is not a defect.  Color may also vary slightly.   The Kosui Green Collection. 5″ diameter x 1.75″h. No microwave and handwash recommended. Made in Japan.
