Shino Blush Footed Round Dinner Plate

This round dinner plate features a soft, pink-white Shino glaze that settles gently across the surface. The underside is strategically wiped by hand to reveal warm orange tones for a tactile, earthy counterpoint. Raised on three small feet and having a flat surface, this dinner plate brings an understated accent to the table.

Each plate is made from mogusa clay and coated with Shino glaze, creating a subtle color variation unique to every piece. The 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.

Its soft color palette complements any table setting, whether used alone or combined with other Shino pieces for a cohesive presentation. 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.
