Shino Blush Sauce Plate
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This Shino Blush Sauce Plate is entirely hand-shaped, so no two pieces are alike. The profile is small and gently rounded, with a footless, full-contact base that gives the piece a clean, cohesive silhouette. A layer of soft pink-white Shino glaze settles across the surface with a tender glow, while the underside reveals the warm orange clay, adding a tactile, earthy counterpoint.
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-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.
Made for the table yet mindful of space, its low profile sits steady and stacks neatly. It’s ideal for condiments, pickles, spices, or small sweets. The elegant packaging also makes a lovely gift option.

Shino
Shino ware is one of the most distinctive styles in Japanese pottery, first created in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture in the late 16th to early 17th century. Known as the first Japanese ceramics to feature a white glaze, it embodies the refined beauty of wabi sabi.
Made from Mino’s mogusa clay and coated with a thick feldspar glaze, Shino pottery is admired for its rich white surface and the natural variations formed in the kiln. Subtle pinholes, flowing glaze, and warm reddish tones beneath the surface give each piece its own quiet expression.
