Medium-sized ceramic platter with a bear design by Hikari Masuda, from the exhibition "serious PLAY", August 2025 at DEA EAST.

This lovely platter, in a creamy white glaze, features a bold, zigzag pattern in black and pink around the rim that defines the face and body of a sweet little bear in the middle. 

Gently curved at the edges, it's perfect for serving small dishes or even as a plate for fruit, dessert or cake.
