Individually handcrafted, this side plate shows the character of the artisan’s hand in each line and curve. Its textured surface creates a rich landscape for its glaze to pool and flow in hues of green, amber, and blue, 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 hues. 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.
Its low profile stacks neatly. It’s ideal for plating tempura, sushi, or a selection of Japanese wagashi sweets. Coming in an elegant box, it also makes a lovely gift.

Oribe
Oribe is a distinctive style of Japanese ceramics that emerged in the early 17th century within the Mino tradition. Named after the tea master Furuta Oribe, it is known for its free-spirited shapes and expressive surface patterns that convey movement and individuality. Artisans often shape the clay by hand, subtly adjusting the rim or contour to embody this aesthetic before firing. Asymmetry, bold lines, and a deep copper-green glaze reveal rhythm within its organic silhouette.
