Soft celadon glaze, fine ridged sides and a hand-drawn style blue pattern of waves, leaves and birds. Then you spot him: a little T-rex riding the waves on a leaf. That playful twist is the signature of Edokko Dinosaur (江戸っ子恐竜), a range from Awasaka that slips dinosaurs into classic Japanese patterns. It is made in Mino, Gifu Prefecture, the region behind more than half of all Japanese ceramic tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHidden dinosaur design:\u003c\/strong\u003e a T-rex tucked into a \u003cem\u003eko-sometsuke\u003c\/em\u003e style blue and white pattern, inspired by antique Japanese porcelain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShinogi ridged finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine vertical ridges (\u003cem\u003eshinogi\u003c\/em\u003e) run around the well, catching the light and giving the plate a crafted, textured feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft celadon glaze:\u003c\/strong\u003e a pale blue-green \u003cem\u003eseiji\u003c\/em\u003e tone that pairs calmly with the indigo pattern and suits both modern and rustic tables.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile everyday size:\u003c\/strong\u003e at 15.5cm with a gentle 2cm rim, it works as a side plate, dessert plate, snack plate or small serving dish for pickles, fruit and sweets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoved by adults and kids:\u003c\/strong\u003e refined enough for a dinner table, fun enough for young dinosaur fans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy care:\u003c\/strong\u003e dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA thoughtful gift:\u003c\/strong\u003e a small, affordable present for dinosaur lovers, Japanese ceramics collectors, new homes and housewarmings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Edokko Dinosaur (江戸っ子恐竜) by Awasaka\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize approx.: Ø15.5cm x H2cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight approx.: 185g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Porcelain (Mino ware)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrowave use is for reheating only.
