*Sales price has changed due to price revision. (November 2024) Carefully carved traces of handcrafted work This is a small plate made of ceramic material with a pattern created by carving each strand with a plane. Images are for illustrative purposes only. The surface has a glossy texture and is smooth and comfortable to the touch. Depending on how the glaze is applied, a rough texture appears in some areas, giving you a sense of warmth that is unique to pottery. The rich expression of the areas with a slight reddish tinge and the iron speckles that appear here and there is also attractive. The appropriate weight feels good in your hand, and just holding it makes you feel cheerful. For side dishes and snack plates Serve with pickled horse mackerel and stir-fried green vegetables. The edges are gently raised, so you can safely cook juicy dishes. If you put muffins or daifuku on top, it will create a relaxing and wonderful tea time. They can also be stacked, so it's a good idea to have several for your family or for guests.

Due to its easy-to-wear nature, we recommend that you seal it before use. Most water stains disappear when dry, but if used without sealant, oil stains and stains from dark colors such as soy sauce and coffee tend to remain. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. - For stains such as tea stains, please use commercially available bleach and rinse thoroughly. Product characteristics/Handling precautions ・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern, color, etc. may differ. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the firing process, but this is not a crack or damage and does not affect use. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. Things you should know before purchasing What creates the expression of pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. 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 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.
