Carp, Pure Platinum Leaf
鯉 純白金箔A glass-urushi plate depicting koi swimming across a pure white ground scattered with gold leaf and silver, finished using the maki-e technique.
The way the gold leaf falls and the way the color enters each koi differ slightly from piece to piece. The expression of the koi's colors also shifts with the quality and angle of the light.
Beyond the transparent glass, you can see the pure white urushi, the gold leaf, and the figures of the koi. Because the surface is glass, it resists scratching even when you use a knife and fork, and it is dishwasher safe.
The tone of the urushi shifts little by little over time. This aging is part of the charm of urushi.
Available in three sizes: S, M, and L.
