Square Plate with Silver Butterfly Motif (White) a

This square plate features a charming depiction of butterflies fluttering in a pottery studio garden during spring. The white butterflies stand out beautifully against the subdued black glaze, creating a piece that subtly evokes Japanese aesthetics and the essence of the season. This vessel is a square plate, hand-thrown on the wheel using Shigaraki clay, onto which butterflies are meticulously hand-painted before repeated firings. The soft, slightly blurred edges of the wings capture the delicate motion of their flight. A subtle silver sheen lends an elegant touch to the butterflies. Decorating with silver is technically challenging, requiring careful control of temperature and humidity during the process to achieve this refined finish. The slightly raised edges make it easy to arrange food, allowing you to enjoy creative plating that highlights the design. This plate complements other tableware, both Japanese and Western, making it a wonderful choice for entertaining or as a thoughtful gift. You can also look forward to its deepening character with continued use. 15.5cm x 15.5cm Height 3.0cm Weight 240g * Not suitable for microwave, dishwasher, oven, cleanser, or nylon scrubbers.
