Octagonal Serving Plate

Oji Masanori for Jicon

• Introduction

  I am a ‘Sumi’ Octagonal Plate. Not all people like things handed to them on a silver platter. Some prefer white porcelain.

   

   

• Curator's Notes

   

  The traditional style corners of the ‘Sumi’ series of plates was designed by Oji Masanori to reflect 18^th-19^th century Western-style porcelain. We like them because the ‘Sumi’ style pinched corners give them an air of sophistication, which is a feature fit serving platters.
