The platter is a beautifully crafted piece of Japanese tableware. It features a deep, rich Midori green centre, enhanced by a glassy glaze that gives it a serene, natural appearance. The ridged surface adds texture and depth, making it not just functional, but also a visually striking piece for serving sashimi and other delicate dishes.
The design reflects the Japanese 'wabi-sabi' philosophy, which appreciates the imperfections and irregularities in handmade objects. These slight variations in size, glaze, and texture make each platter unique, adding character and authenticity.
Made from Minoyaki porcelain, a type of ceramic known for its durability and quality, this platter is both elegant and robust. Minoyaki porcelain has a long history in Japan, originating from the Gifu prefecture, and is prized for its fine craftsmanship.
Each platter is hand-finished at the Takai kiln in Gifu prefecture, a region renowned for its ceramic production. This hand-finishing process ensures that every piece has its own distinct character, embracing the small irregularities that are characteristic of artisanal craftsmanship.
