Handmade For Japan - Sept 14, 2011
will start selling its Mamezara limited edition plates on Etsy beginning 3pm EST on Monday, September 12th. Each plate costs $50 and all the proceeds go to GlobalGiving’s Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund, as an anonymous donor is kindly covering all the production costs.

Each Mamezara has been designed and individually handmade by HFJ’s very own potter-extraordinaire Ayumi Horie.
The Mamezara, which in Japanese means small serving dish, is adorned with an origami crane folding pattern. HFJ’s beloved bear logo designed by Dave Gordon appears on the foot. The crane symbolizes our hopes for the people of Japan to rebuild and to let them know we stand with them.

The plates are approximately 4 inches in diameter and are microwave / dishwasher safe. Mamezara dishes are used in Japan for small servings of food, appetizers, or soy sauce for sushi and sashimi. These dishes come in many different shapes and colors and are widely collected because of their versatility and range of designs. HFJ’s Mamezara dish offers a creative way to present food and is ideal for soy sauce or serving bite-sized snacks.
