7½ in Multicolor Shiba Inu Ceramic Plate — WK275-BSH

Dense rows of dog faces cover the WK275-BSH ceramic plate, mixing tan, brown and gray markings with small red accents on a pale ground. The repeated faces give the round plate a lively surface that remains visible around a centered serving. Made in Japan, the plate coordinates with several bowl shapes in the same illustrated design.

The 7½-inch size and 1¼-inch height suit a smaller main dish, an appetizer or an accompaniment beside a bowl. Arrange the food near the center, leaving a border of the dog-face artwork visible around the portion. The plate is dishwasher safe for cleanup after the meal. Matching shallow and deeper bowls let the same decoration continue through different courses, while plain utensils keep the pattern from competing with every piece in the setting. Add a rice bowl, chopsticks, a separate sauce dish and a clear water glass.
