The Ash Glaze & Zaffer Imprint Plate features a soft wash of pale blue beneath an ash glaze, framed by a rich cobalt rim that naturally flows inward across the surface. As the glaze settles, it gently veils portions of the impressed chrysanthemum pattern. The uncolored foot reveals the warm tones of Shigaraki clay.

Its versatile 18 cm size is ideal for individual salads, side dishes, breakfast bread, or light meals. The balanced proportions and softly textured surface make it an effortless addition to both casual and refined table settings.

Artist

Tomohiro Matsumoto is a Japanese potter working with Shigaraki clay, continuing a family tradition that spans over 150 years. As a fifth-generation potter, he is known for his bold approach to glaze and color. He introduces vivid red tones that contrast with Shigaraki’s traditional hi-iro (緋色) glaze. Today, his work explores a wider range of glazes and firing methods, using materials such as wood ash to create durable, expressive surfaces shaped by fire.
