This footed plate features Matsumoto’s signature ash glaze and zaffer applied over embossed clay, demonstrating his ability to balance surface detail with material restraint. The glaze flows and settles naturally during firing, resulting in a glass-like finish that captures the energy of the kiln.

Ideal for serving small portions such as cakes, fruits, cheeses, or appetizers, this piece adds a refined presence to the table.

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.
