Title	Serving dish with blue design
Description	Used for serving a single fresh moist sweet (namagashi) to a guest, this plate employs a colorful blue motif depicting flower-viewing dumplings (hanami-dango).

In addition to the sweet, the plate would typically hold a kuromoji (not shown), a small sweet pick the host carves for the guest from spice wood. Kyoto ware (Kyo-yaki)
