Oribe Flat Rectangular Dinner Plate

Individually handcrafted, this dinner plate shows the character of the artisan’s hand in each line and curve. Its naturally textured edges lend a rustic charm. Its rich green Oribe glaze pools differently for each piece, making every plate one-of-a-kind.

A base coat of ki-Seto glaze—a pale yellow glaze unique to Mino ware—is first applied, followed by layers of Oribe glaze brushed by hand, creating soft gradations of green, amber, and blue that recall natural landscapes. The mogusa clay, known for its subtle tone and texture, responds uniquely to the fire, allowing tranquil beauty to emerge through both process and form. Areas where the glaze is thinner or strategically hand-wiped reveal the clay beneath for a pleasing textural contrast.

It's low profile stacks neatly. It’s ideal for plating grilled fish, appetizers, or a selection of Japanese wagashi sweets. Coming in an elegant box, it also makes a lovely gift.

deidei

Based in Mitake, Gifu Prefecture, family-run studio deidei crafts Japanese tableware that carries on the wisdom and techniques of Mino ware passed down through generations. Using clay that transforms beautifully in both form and color, each piece is shaped by hand to bring warmth and artistry to everyday dining. From the soft, thick glazes of Shino to the expressive green glazes of Oribe, deidei’s creations embody the living tradition of Japanese ceramics.
