SingaporeSeikou Kiln Foliage Kutani Round Plate
Firstly, the design is very nice and the finishing is very good. I am glad that you were able to change my order to two plates and shipped them together. The slight miss is a small fault on the glaze of one of the plates. It is not bad enough to reject but a slight flaw.
MUSUBI KILN
We are so grateful for your kind words! Regarding the flaw, it could be penetration which is one of the characteristics of the glaze. Please refer to our product policy page for more information about penetration.: https://musubikiln.com/pages/product-quality If it seems not, please send us a photo then we'd like to send you a replacement.
