Refined ceramic work that embodies functional beauty.

Toukoubo Houki is a small traditional pottery studio based in Kutsukake, Kyoto, run by ceramic artist Shoichi Houki and his wife, Yoko.

Modern elegance

with a nostalgic, heartwarming touch.

The plate’s surface is decorated with floral patterns created using Mishima—a traditional Japanese ceramic technique where motifs are pressed into the clay before glazing.

Each flower is hand-painted with soft colors, and subtle gold accents add just the right amount of brilliance and sophistication.

This Kyoto-made handmade ceramic piece blends elegance and playfulness, offering a timeless charm perfect for any setting.

Owner's Comment

This small plate features a completely flat surface with no rim or foot, giving it a clean, minimal look.

It’s just the right size for serving cake, fruit, or sweets. The soft pastel colors beautifully complement any dessert and make your table feel special.
