Turquoise Colored Sauce Plate

Celadon is often used in large porcelain for artistic purposes, but this is a charming sauce plate that can fit in your palm. The rim exposes the outlines of the red clay, an exquisite balance between the elegance of emerald celadon and the rustic red soil. The base is of brown color and unglazed, once held in your hand, you can enjoy both the glazed smooth surface and the clay texture of rustic brown. 

The turquoise glare is achieved through the meticulous process of kneading the kiln’s house blended pigment and seed of celadon into the clay. The celadon seed illuminates into this unique heartwarming blue once cooked in the kiln.

The sauce plate is the smallest of the Soryu Kiln's series, and perhaps the most dexter in skill. The grooves made by Tobikanna is very fine, and forms a spiral.
