Dessert Plates & Triangular Bowls by Kazu Oba


  
It is always nice to have simple and useful dishes at home.
Kazu Oba's dessert plates and triangular bowls are very basic, able to stack, durable and also have beautiful form.
You will love them once you start to use.


** Please note that the color of the triangular bowls come out slightly different depending on the piece.
