Japanese Hand-Painted Divided Plate with Foot – Sushi & Sauce Dish – Aka-e Red Porcelain

A refined piece of Japanese tableware designed for both beauty and function.

This hand-painted porcelain divided plate features delicate red decorative patterns inspired by traditional Japanese aka-e (red overglaze) techniques. The clean white surface paired with fine brushwork creates a timeless, understated elegance.

The thoughtfully designed dual-compartment layout allows you to serve food and dipping sauce together, while keeping flavors separate.

What makes this piece especially unique is its slightly raised base, adding height and dimension to your table — a subtle detail often found in Japanese restaurant-style presentation.
