Tray "Koi Japonesa" | Hand-painted ceramic

Harmony and fortune: The flow of the Koi on your table

The "Koi Japonesa" tray is a tribute to perseverance and good fortune. Inspired by classic Eastern symbolism, this piece features two koi fish in an eternal visual dialogue, surrounded by a continuous wave in blue that frames the ceramic and gives it movement. It is an object that brings character, colour and a timeless calm to any space.

Each tray is born of a slow, meticulous process in our workshop: modelled, sanded and painted freehand, layer by layer. Over the ivory white of the ceramic, the contrast of the vibrant red of the fish and the deep blue of the wavy rim creates a unique play of light and volumes. A signature piece where the tradition of the south and Japanese philosophy meet in perfect harmony.

Identity & Design

• Symbolism and Meaning: It celebrates the perseverance and success represented by the Koi, turning the piece into an amulet of harmony for the home.
• Signature Craftsmanship: Modelled, sanded and hand-painted in Andalusia. A limited edition produced in small batches to guarantee its exclusivity.
• Unique Piece: As it is a fully manual process, the subtle variations in the stroke of the fish and the tone of the glaze ensure your tray is unrepeatable.
• Premium Versatility: Perfect for table service (especially sushi, breads or fruits) or as a decorative wall or sideboard piece. It combines ideally with light woods and neutral textiles.
• Materials: High-quality glazed ceramic with a glossy finish that enhances the design and protects the surface for everyday use.

Care and Conservation

To preserve the intensity of the colour and the glossy finish, we recommend:

• Hand-wash with a soft sponge and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive scourers and dishwashers. Not microwave-safe.
• Dry well after cleaning before storing.

The Kinara Commitment: A Sustainable Unboxing

We understand that an artisan piece deserves a safe journey that respects the environment.

• Natural Protection: We wrap your piece in honeycomb paper, an organic alternative to plastic that cushions with maximum efficiency.
• Safety Bed: It rests on kraft paper shavings to ensure it stays still during transport.
• Eco-friendly Shipping: Everything is delivered in recyclable cardboard boxes. A 100% plastic-free package.

Simple care

Hand-wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Microwave-safe on short cycles. Avoid thermal shock (do not move it from the fridge to the microwave) to preserve the glaze and the hand-painted pigments for years.
