Japanese Lacquer Glass Flat Plate – Aka Tame Red Urushi, Gold Leaf | Dishwasher Safe

The iconic red of Japanese lacquerware — deepened by centuries of craft knowledge.

Aka Tame is a technique in which multiple translucent layers of red urushi are built up over a base, then finished with gold leaf (kinpaku). The result is a red so deep it seems to glow from within, accented by the warmth of genuine gold.
