Handmade Plate / Trinket Dish / Soap Dish

Artist: Mieko Hiaska Material: Ceramic Dimensions: 13.5×9cm (measured by the longest side, handmade measurements may have slight variations) ✿ Each piece is handcrafted, one-of-a-kind, and imbued with the artist's unique personal touch ✿ Mieko's journey into the world of pottery began with crafting functional pieces for her own use, such as cups, plates, and vases. Driven by her passion, these everyday vessels gradually evolved into hand-pinched creations that incorporate the subtle feelings and inspirations drawn from her daily life, all while retaining her distinct artistic voice. The hustle and bustle of daily life seem to melt away during the time spent with clay. Even a simple bowl, with its repeated smoothing and shaping, allows one to immerse in a state of focused tranquility, where worries are unconsciously soothed and calmed. Mieko's work blends the tactile sensation of hand-pinched clay, reflecting the emotions imprinted through the processes of kneading, pinching, patting, and pressing. The glazes' colors serve as a canvas for her personal emotional journal.
