Some aspects, such as shape, degree of distortion, texture, and color, may not be clearly visible in the images.
Please note that this item is a handmade product, crafted one by one by the artist.
There may be some areas with iron spots (black dots), which occur when iron content in the clay oxidizes during firing.
Additionally, small indentations (pinholes) may be present; these are natural phenomena that occur during the firing process and do not indicate a defective product.
Please enjoy them as part of the item's unique character.
For other details, please refer to the handling instructions.
Beautiful gradation created by the varying shades of glaze
This 20cm black-navy plate has a dignified appearance yet exudes a certain peaceful ambiance.
The subtly raised rim provides a pleasant outline to its simple form, giving it a refined impression.
The black-navy glaze covering the entire plate is a color that, while deep, is not overly strong, emanating a quiet presence.
The slightly reddish glaze expressions that emerge within it act as an accent, adding strength to its otherwise calm impression.
The flat surface inside the rim is about 18cm.
It's the perfect size for serving a large piece of bread or a slice of toast.
It's ideal for serving fried foods with a colorful salad, as a main dish plate for meat dishes or a one-plate meal, and even for sushi and sashimi platters.
It enhances the white of rice and the vibrant colors of sashimi, adding a special touch to your dining table.
For days when you want to enjoy your usual meal with a little more care.
For days when you're entertaining someone important.
This work enhances the food and elevates the space just a little.

Kawai-san, who is from Aichi Prefecture, is currently creating pottery in Kyoto.
She has loved making things since she was a child. When considering university, she recalled making mud pies enthusiastically in sandboxes in her childhood and boldly chose the crafts course at Nagoya University of Arts.
After studying pottery at university, she worked for four years at a studio in Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture.
In 2022, she became independent in Kyoto and officially started her own pottery activities.
her works feature exquisitely formed shapes that belie their creation on a potter's wheel, captivating with their feminine, soft colors and beautiful gradations.
Kawai-san originally preferred matte glazes and had created many pieces with them.
"One day, I was captivated by the subtly different expressions created within a single glaze due to firing and other conditions, and I wanted to express them."
Her current style, born from this desire, offers a myriad of expressions through the shading and bleeding of glazes, allowing for the enjoyment of nuanced depth.
Another charm is the lightness of her pieces, made from semi-porcelain.
They are easy to hold, blend into daily life, and add a gentle touch of color to the dining table.
