ALM-ONJI’S ALPINE HEARTH

(Inspired by Heidi’s Grandfather)

The fir trees stand in emerald green,

The quietest home the peaks have seen.

Beneath the eaves, the fire burns bright,

A mountain star in velvet night.

Inspired by the world of Heidi, Girl of the Alps, Alm-Onji’s Alpine Hearth captures the secluded cabin of the grandfather. The hand-painted scene features towering, snow-dusted firs sheltering a sturdy mountain hut. The terracotta base adds a grounding warmth to the cool greens and whites of the alpine landscape, making it feel like a cherished memory of home.

This plate is a quintessential choice for rustic, mountain-inspired treats. It is perfectly sized for a slice of Swiss-style nut cake or a wedge of English cheddar with pickles. In a Japanese context, it is a beautiful stage for a Mochi selection, or for an Oriental tea, a few pieces of sesame peanut brittle.
