Mikazuki | Majo Gold Leaf Square Small Plate (2 Colours)
$36.96
The Majo Square Small Plate is a dishwasher-safe lacquer glassware plate crafted by Japanese lacquer artisan Yoshihiko Fujii. Each plate is hand-finished with the mysterious 'Majo' pigment and real gold leaf, creating a colour that shifts between blue and green depending on the angle and light.
Key Features
- Colour-shifting Majo pigment: a special powder is melted into lacquer and layered from the back of the glass, producing a deep, iridescent colour that becomes more vivid with each layer.
- Gold leaf accents: genuine gold leaf is applied by hand for an authentic, luxury finish.
- Dishwasher safe: combines the beauty of traditional lacquerware with everyday practicality.
- Fusion design: Western tableware shapes reinterpreted with Japanese lacquer technique and texture.
Ideal Uses
Suited to small appetisers, sauces, condiments, and dessert presentation. Its compact square shape also works well as a decorative accent piece or gift.
