Famiware Ceramic Soy Sauce Dish, White

A photograph shows the shape and the white glaze, but not the heft. This dish is small enough to pinch between thumb and finger, yet dense enough to feel solid when you set it down. The stoneware body holds its temperature, so soy sauce stays cool longer than in a thin porcelain dish.

On the table, put one beside a dinner plate from the dinner plates shelf. The plate’s wide rim gives the dish a natural spot. A mug from the mugs shelf, or a bowl from the pasta bowls shelf, rounds out the place setting. They sit neatly beside the plate, ready for dipping or pouring.
