Featuring a round plate exposing the outlines of the red clay, an exquisite balance between the elegance of emerald celadon and the rustic red soil. The glazed surface is smooth with shallow grooves characteristic of tobikanna (chattered pottery).
The turquoise glare is achieved through a meticulous process of kneading the kiln’s house-blended pigment and celadon seed into the clay. The celadon seed illuminates into this unique heartwarming blue once fired in the kiln.
It is 21 cm (8.3 in) in diameter, and it can be used as a dinner plate to serve a moderate amount of sushi for a small gathering. The stunning painting is also suitable for displaying with a plate stand.

Maker / Brand

Its works feature a unique design in which the blue shades celadon are emphasized by grooves made by carving out continuous geometric patterns using a technique called tobikanna, also known as chattering.

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.
Tobikanna
Tobikanna, also called chattering, is a decorative ceramics technique. As clay is turned on a potter's wheel, a flexible piece of metal called a plane is lightly skipped over the clay to create an engraved pattern. This technique requires a high level of skill, as the pattern is easily affected by the tool, the moisture content of the clay, and the speed at which the wheel is turned.
