Square Plate, Blue Maple, Gold Leaf

This is a square plate depicting young maple leaves sprouting in the pottery studio garden. The lustrous green maple leaves stand out against the black glaze, creating a gorgeous piece that exudes Japanese beauty. This dish is made by forming a plate on a potter's wheel using Shigaraki clay, carefully hand-painting it with green maple leaves, and then firing it again and again to finish it. The gold lines add a touch of elegance to the dish. The slightly raised edges make it easy to use, and you can enjoy using the pattern to arrange food on the plate, or the pattern will gradually emerge as you serve the food. It will brighten up any table, whether Japanese or Western, and makes a great gift or treat for guests. You can also enjoy watching the depth of the color increase as you use it.
