This is a one-of-a-kind long plate that is perfect as a decor for your space or you can use it to hold a multi-part cuisine on it. On the shield-like shaped piece, there is an eye-catching circle as well as a stroke of dent. The unique shape provides a canvas for you to make use of your creativity to plate the dish on the plate.

The grey and jade glaze on the piece gives a sense of ruggedness that pairs well with the Shigaraki clay underneath. Shigaraki ware is characterized by its iconic natural color gradient of browns and oranges. The surface often features rustic, rough and earthy textures caused by the existence of feldspar and quartz sand in the clay. You can still see the texture from the unglazed parts on the piece.
