Twelve-Petal Rinka Small Plate - Light Blue Glass

Coarse white clay that makes the glaze color stand out. A glass glaze with delicate crackles and a beautiful, pale yet vibrant light blue. This Rinka small plate is created by combining these elements. With its twelve petals, this small plate has a frill-like cuteness, while also possessing a rustic charm that reflects the maker's touch. Its bright and refreshing colors can be paired with both savory dishes and desserts. Perfect for tamagoyaki with cherry tomatoes, boiled corn, spinach ohitashi, or chilled tofu. Also lovely for Japanese sweets, small cakes, baked goods, and chocolates. We would be delighted if you could use it as a small splash of color on your dining table. All processes, from clay kneading to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are done by hand using a small electric kiln and electric potter's wheel at my home studio. While mass production is not possible, each piece has its own unique expression, and you can enjoy the charm that comes from being handmade. The item you will receive will be one of the two shown in the final product image. (There is one of each in stock.) As long as stock lasts, you may choose your preferred piece. Please let us know your preference at the time of purchase. The base of the plate will be sanded to minimize scratching your table. I create a variety of pottery in different colors and shapes, exploring the best combinations using various glazes and clays. These are vessels that cannot be made exactly the same; they are unique pieces that look similar but are one of a kind. I would be very happy if you could find a piece you love. I hope you can enjoy the unique atmosphere and texture of pottery, woven from clay and glaze, as a part of your daily life. ーーーーー *Size and Weight* 1 Diameter 11.7cm Height 1.7cm Weight 128g 2 Diameter 11.7cm Height 1.8cm Weight 139g ーーーーー *Notes on Purchase and Use* ・Due to the porous nature of pottery, it may absorb water, and in some cases, colors may seep into the crackles or moisture may seep out. For this reason, we apply a waterproof sealant for tableware before shipping, so there is no need for initial glazing (mezoma). The sealing process requires 2-3 days, so we set the shipping period from order to dispatch at 5 days. If you do not require the sealant treatment, please inform us at the time of purchase. ・We strive to capture product images as accurately as possible, but colors may appear differently depending on your monitor environment and lighting conditions. Please understand this in advance. ・As these items are also sold on other sites, in the unlikely event of overlapping purchases, the item will be delivered to the person who completes the purchase procedure first. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. ・While you can use them in the microwave (for reheating) and dishwasher, the vibrations from microwaves and the spray of hot water may accelerate deterioration. We would appreciate it if you could refrain from using them as much as possible. ・Please refrain from using in ovens or over direct heat. ・After use, to prevent staining and mold, please wash thoroughly, dry completely, and then store in your cupboards.
