Rectangular Plate with Gold Plum Blossoms b

A rectangular plate depicting plum blossoms blooming in the pottery studio garden in early spring. This piece evokes a sense of quiet Japanese beauty and the changing seasons. This work is a rectangular plate crafted on a potter's wheel using Shigaraki clay, onto which plum blossoms are carefully hand-painted and fired multiple times. Delicate plum blossoms are lovingly and vibrantly depicted in gold against a deep black glaze. While the clay was still soft during shaping, a fine net texture was imprinted onto the surface, lending the plate a gentle, nuanced character. The design invites you to enjoy plating a variety of dishes, from Japanese sweets and appetizers to grilled items. It also makes a thoughtful gift for loved ones, perfect for celebrations or when hosting guests. You can also appreciate how the piece deepens in character with each use.
