The tip has a tortoiseshell pattern and the body has lines, making it a design that enhances your food no matter what angle you look at it. The three small legs make this dish look a little special. The moss-like deep green of the Oribe glaze is beautiful, and the incisions that spread throughout the plate add depth of flavor.

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】 Each piece is different in size and color shading. [Uneven color/uneven baking] The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇There may be some stone goby or blemishes, but you can use it without any problems. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
