Bellflower Plate

Oji Masanori for Jicon

• Introduction

  I am a Bellflower Plate. The balancing act of maintaining my grace while performing my duties is a difficult task. I must not break a sweat because people’s faith in me rests upon a belief that I will carry their items and retain my pure white exterior.

   

   

• Curator's Notes

   

   

  The rim of this white porcelain plate is designed with a intricately carved edge to resemble the outline of a bellflower. With its low profile white matte finish, this beautifully scaled plate will surely make a dramatic decorative statement.

  Bellflower Plate was curated by Angélique Chmielewski
