Painted by hand before firing, this plate carries the mark of a practiced brush — the pattern placed one piece at a time, the decoration worked into the surface while it still holds the maker's touch. It frames food as much as it holds it. Jusen Kiln forms and painting 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. Material: porcelain Made in Japan Artisan: Jusen Kiln Size: 7 × 1.3 cm (2.8 × 0.5 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
