Kiku Sauce Dish Set from The Met Museum

“Kiku” is the word for chrysanthemum in Japanese. It is a cherished flower and a ubiquitous theme in Japanese culture. These charming dishes offer a wonderful monochromatic scheme that highlights the flower’s signature petals. A major repository of Japanese art in the West, The Met began collecting masterful examples of Japanese ceramics within a decade of its founding in 1870.
