Carefully carved traces of handcrafted work This is a small plate made of clay powder with a pattern created by carving each strand with a planer. The flower-like hog's tooth pattern gives it an impressive appearance. The slight redness called "sunspots" and "gohonte" are each unique. Depending on how well the glaze is applied, a rough texture appears in some places, giving you a sense of the warmth that only pottery can provide. For side dishes and snack plates It's the perfect size to serve as a side dish for one person. It's a little deep, so it's good for saucy dishes like spinach with dipping sauce . If you put cookies or daifuku on top, it will create a relaxing and wonderful tea time. These plates can also be stacked, so it's a good idea to have several for your family or for guests.

Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze 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.
