Elegant appearance It's a small plate with an antique design. Images are for illustrative purposes only. The rim of the grey-white plate has uneven and thin lines, giving it a classic feel. It has a matte texture with some glossy parts, giving it a rich look. Although the color is the same and the manufacturing method is the same, each piece has a different shade of color depending on the firing process. I would be happy if you could feel the individuality and warmth that can only be achieved by handicrafts. Small but hardworking For breakfast, put butter or jam on bread. At tea time, take a break with baked goods such as scones and cookies. Perfect for holding bite-sized snacks. For dinner, have something to rest your chopsticks with or something to cleanse your palate. Top with cheese and crackers for a blissful evening drink. Although it is small, it is a hardworking plate that is useful from morning till night.

Things you should know before purchasing What creates the expression of pottery is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Because the glaze is applied by hand, it may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.
