Kozara set

Our small plate set is the perfect companion to the "soba choco" cups. It is meant to serve small pieces of sweets or fruits to enjoy with your tea. The popularity of porcelain soba choco cups soared during the Edo period in Japan, giving rise to many different designs.

Creative ceramist BAR BAR has chosen to reproduce some of the most popular patterns of that era. We have selected two of our favourites designs to share with you.

Handcrafted in Japan

About the patterns:

Cracked Ice: Made in the fashion of “kanyu” crackled glazes, this pattern is often called “hyoretsu” (or cracked ice) for the jagged lines that resemble cracks in ice. The “hyoretsu” pattern is said to have come to Japan from China during the Southern Song dynasty.

Bamboo Weave: The bamboo weave pattern is a design based on baskets woven from bamboo. This pattern is said to be an effective talisman that wards off evil.

About the wooden box: The set comes in a traditional Japanese gift box made of Paulownia Wood.
