Square Plate Blue Maple Leaf

This is a square plate depicting young maple leaves sprouting in the pottery studio garden. The lustrous green maple leaves stand out against the black glaze, creating a gorgeous piece that exudes Japanese beauty. This piece is made by shaping a plate on a potter's wheel using Shigaraki clay, then carefully hand-painting it in green maple leaves one by one, before finally being fired again. The slightly raised edges make it easy to use, and you can enjoy using the pattern to arrange food on the plate, or the pattern will gradually emerge as you serve the food. It will brighten up any table, whether Japanese or Western, and makes a great gift or treat for guests. You can also enjoy watching the depth of the color increase as you use it. Diameter 15.0cm x Height 3.0cm Weight 300g *Do not use microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, cleansers, nylon scrubbers, etc.
