◆ Mamezara "Otesho-zara" - Origami-inspired form-


Tiny dish with a traditional shape from the Edo period: 'Otesho Dish'

 

A small dish designed to resemble origami, a Japanese paper craft made by folding a sheet of paper, with roses elegantly hand-painted on glossy Arita white porcelain.

 

These particularly small palm-sized dishes are called 'otesho zara', 'tesho zara' or 'otesho', depending on the region, and derive from the fact that they were used especially for serving salt in Japanese cuisine. (salt = SHIO in Japanese). During the Edo period, oteshozara of various shapes were produced in Arita ware, adding an elegant beauty to the dining table. They are extremely popular and much-loved by many collectors.

 

Denpei craftsmen have reproduced them today in the original Edo period otershozara style.
