Rectangular Plate, Iron Glaze Plum Blossom a

This rectangular plate features a depiction of plum blossoms blooming in the potter's garden in early spring. It is a piece that evokes a quiet, Japanese beauty and a sense of the season. Crafted from Shigaraki clay using a potter's wheel, this rectangular plate is meticulously hand-painted with plum blossoms and fired multiple times. The iron glaze used was created with ingredients sourced from a nearby rice field and blended in our own studio. This vessel offers a deep, artistic charm with its design reminiscent of sumi-e ink paintings and its subdued coloration. Its simple design and calm tones make it a versatile piece that beautifully complements whatever is presented. The design lends itself to serving Japanese sweets, appetizers, grilled dishes, and more. As you use it, the subtle crackling (kannyu) will deepen, adding to its character and charm over time.
