Maker / Brand
Hissan Pottery is renowned for creating unique and beautiful Shigaraki ware, cherished by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants both in Japan and internationally. Known for its elegant designs and vibrant colors, the pottery enhances the presentation of any dish.

Origin
Shigaraki is one of the Rokkoyo, Japan’s six oldest kilns, and has long produced natural ash-glazed pottery that leverages the inherent qualities of its clay. The clay, sourced from the ancient Lake Biwa layer formed 4 million years ago, is renowned for its high quality, fire resistance, and plasticity. This makes it ideal for crafting both large and small items. Even unglazed, Shigaraki ware exhibits a unique charm, making it a beloved choice for flower vases and tea ware.
Shigaraki ware is a representative form of Japanese pottery that allows you to appreciate the natural beauty of the clay, characterized by its warm color and thick, fire-resistant texture.

Dinner Plates
This category is for plates ranging from 21 cm (8.3 in) to 30.9 cm (12.2 in). For traditional Japanese meals, plates around 8 in are the most practical. On the other hand, when serving a one-plate dinner or pasta, plates around 25 cm (10 in) are more convenient.
Turquoise
Turquoise tableware not only imparts a sense of coolness and tranquility with its shades of blue but also exudes the vibrancy and vitality, making it suitable for use in any season and adding a unique touch to the dining table.
In Japanese pottery, the turquoise color is achieved through a glaze known as toruko yu, literally translating to "Turkish glaze." The highly renowned Mino ware and Kutani ware always showcase this color in Japan.
