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. Seisaku Kusaka/Mari forms and glazing each plate by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to receive full attention. The result is a plate made to hold food well — and to be noticed on the table. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a plate like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Handmade in small numbers. Because each piece is formed by hand, no two are exactly alike, and the piece you receive will vary slightly from the one shown.
