Glazed and fired by hand, this plate carries the quiet character of something made individually — the surface not perfectly uniform, the rim shaped by a hand rather than a machine. It sits well on any table, with any food. Yoshihei Kato works in Gifu, Japan, forming and glazing each plate by hand. The rim is shaped individually, the surface finished with the table in mind — a plate built to hold food well and to sit easily among others. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a plate like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Gifu, Japan Artisan: Yoshihei Kato Size: 11 × 7 × 1.5 cm (4.3 × 2.8 × 0.6 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
