This plate features a coarse, rough surface that contrasts elegantly with its neatly shaped octagonal rim. There are intentional burning spots created during firing, which add a rustic texture that some liken to the appearance of a meteor. Supported by three legs for stability, its moderate-to-large size makes it an excellent choice for both serving main dishes and acting as a striking piece of home décor.

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

Yu Sugimoto is a Japanese pottery artist rooted in the traditions of Shigaraki-ware. Sugimoto’s pieces make full use of the natural character of Shigaraki clay. He plays with geometric shapes and unique glazes like Kohiki and Kakewake. His work highlights the rough, natural feel of the clay to create interesting, modern designs.
