Sculpted in the shape of a rowing boat with a distinct central line, this small plate is full of character. There are intentional burning spots created during firing, which add a rustic texture. Its unique silhouette makes it a perfect vessel for serving snacks and small side dishes, or simply as an interesting accent piece for your interior.

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.

Artist
