This small platter is constructed with appealing proportions, and a beautifully restrained aesthetic, the clay transformed by the kiln's heat to produce a crackled glaze. An elegan t way to serve sashimi, dessert, or cheese, it would be equally effective as part of a sculptural display of different ceramic forms and glazes. Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, Kasama is a relative new-comer in Japanese ceramics, established a little over 250 years ago. Kasama pottery is known for being part of a 'new' wave of idiosyncratic ceramicists, unencumbered by some of the more traditional techniques and aesthetics of the older kilns. Show more
