A “flower-shape” particular to Japanese tableware with a French twist is what makes the Barbarie plates unique. Originally designed to enjoy duck meat, the duck logo on the bottom of the plate is a reminder to its origin. Comes into four different sizes (dinner plate, salad plate, bread plate, small plate) and three different colors (white, grey, indigo). The white plates have a brilliant finish whereas grey and indigo plates have a mat finish. The quality of clay and glaze used provide unique color variations in each item.
