Shino Blush Flat Rectangular Dinner Plate

Individually handcrafted, this dinner plate shows the character of the artisan’s hand in each line and curve. Its softly rounded edges follow a natural rhythm. A layer of soft, pink-white Shino glaze pools richly across the surface, hand-wiped after glazing to create a gentle line across the center.

Each plate is made from mogusa clay and coated with Shino glaze, creating a subtle color unique to every piece. The Shino glaze, made from feldspar, naturally contracts during firing to form a fine, crackled, and porous pattern known as kairagi—a "plum-blossom skin" texture cherished for its organic beauty and depth. Over time, the pattern deepens, allowing the plate to age gracefully and develop character with each use, much like a well-loved heirloom.

Its low profile sits steadily and 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.
