Hand-Painted Ceramic Plate: Okinawa Travel Series

Hand-Painted Ceramic Plate: Okinawa Travel Series Okinawa, Japan | Lighthouse on the Cliff The lighthouse stands alone on the cliff edge, silent and steadfast. Waves crash against the precipice, their force unyielding. Yet, it remains, unwavering between wind and sea, as if silently guarding, or perhaps, standing defiant against the world. Dimensions | Approx. 13 x 15 cm, Depth 2 cm Materials | Semi-porcelain clay, underglaze color, matte transparent glaze Selected semi-porcelain clay balances the warmth of earthenware with the white, resilient strength of porcelain. Finished with hand-painted underglaze colors and a matte transparent glaze, fired at a high temperature of 1230°C, ensuring colors won't fade and making it safe for use as tableware. Important Notes for Purchase | Each piece is meticulously handcrafted from shaping and design to glazing and firing. Minor variations are inherent and may include: slight shaping irregularities, small dimensional discrepancies, uneven glaze flow, natural air bubbles, variations in underglaze color thickness, or subtle differences in color intensity. These characteristics are natural expressions of the unique handmade ceramic process. Due to a preference for the warmth conveyed by a matte finish, the glaze used is non-reflective, resulting in a textured, less glossy surface. Product photos are presented as accurately as possible; however, color variations may occur due to different displays or viewing angles. **Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection in craftsmanship.** Care Instructions | Clean with a sponge, similar to regular ceramic tableware. For stubborn stains, soak in warm water with sodium percarbonate (also suitable for other ceramic tableware). Further details can be found via a quick online search. Usage Recommendations | Suitable for use in rice cookers and dishwashers. Avoid strong impacts, accidental drops, or drastic temperature changes.
