Presented on a dark, subtly textured ceramic plate is a beautiful serving of crispy fried fish, often known in Japan as karaage (Japanese-style fried food). Context suggests this is likely a delicacy like fried blowfish (fugu), a highly prized and expertly prepared dish often found in specialized restaurants in Tokyo. The pieces of fish are coated in a light, airy, and beautifully golden-brown batter, glistening with the savory oil from the frying process. The texture appears incredibly crisp, providing a contrast to the tender fish inside.
The dish is carefully garnished with elements intended to enhance its flavor profile. A generous slice of bright green lime or sudachi (a small, sour Japanese citrus fruit) sits prominently at the top, ready to be squeezed over the fish for a fresh, acidic lift. Also present is a small mound of grated white radish (daikon oroshi) or perhaps a touch of ginger, serving as a cool, pungent palate cleanser. The plating is minimalist and elegant, typical of high-quality Japanese dining, using pieces of crisp white paper beneath the fried portions to absorb excess oil and maintain presentation. This is a close-up, mouth-watering snapshot of elevated Japanese cuisine, emphasizing taste, texture, and careful presentation.

This wall plate was commissioned by the Carmelite Sisters of Tallow to commemorate the 2001 Pilgrimage of Grace. The plate is made of bone china and features an image of St. Therese, as well as having its original presentation box.
The Pilgramage of Grace was a tour of the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux around Ireland, arriving on Easter Sunday 15th April 2001 and departing from Ireland on the 2nd July 2001. The relics on tour was a reliquary casket containing some of the bones of St. Therese. St. Therese is probably the most venerated saint amongst Catholics throughout the world and the 2001 tour around Ireland was exceedingly popular.
Born as Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin (1873-1897), at the age of 15 in 1888 she joined the Carmelite Sisters near Lisieux in Normandy, France. Aged only 24, Therese died of tuberculosis in 1897. During her years with the Carmelites, Therese had written her spiritual memories and after her death the manuscript was edited and published as l'Histoire d'une Âme (the Story of a Soul). It was through this publication that Therese became more widely known and her fame spread rapidly as more editions of the book were published.
Therese was beatified on the 29th April 1923 by pope Pius XI and who later canonised her on the 17th May 1925. St. Therese's main shrine is in the Basilica of St. Therese at Lisieux, France.

ODC, Floral
On my first visit to Istanbul, back in the 20thC, I fell in love with Islamic art, particularly as used to decorate ceramics and tiles. Islamic artists have evolved a genre that uses a combination of abstract and floral patterns to decorate everything from walls to tiles and plates, whilst observing their particular traditions which include not representing the human form. By using colour, calligraphy, abstract shapes and flowers they have created a style that is instantly recognisable.
A distinctive feature of Ottoman art is the use of recognisable garden flowers (tulips, roses, hyacinths and carnations for example) in stylised motifs, like the ones on this Turkish plate.
The use of floral patterns complements and contrasts with the symmetry of abstract and geometrical designs, which are the patterns used most often in architecture and tiling. Although it isn't visible in this image, the pattern on the edge of the plate is repeated, which exemplifies the symmetry that is also a feature of Islamic art.
Over the past 4 years I collected lots of miniature items, like dishes and furnitures, (here you can see only some of them) but I can't find the time to organize them in the 'Mini Bakery & Pastry Shop' that I built for my blythe.
But look! I made her some meals - Breakfast, Cheese & Wine, Breads, etc in 1:12 scale.
This is in the grounds of the site of the Archaeologicial Museums which comprises this Tiled Pavilion, the Ancient Orient and the more traditional archaeology building, which is where this frieze is displayed.
