Hand-Painted Koi "Kouhiki" Round Plate Ø 16cm | Dessert Plate | Serving Plate | Dish

Each piece from Xinzuo Tao is meticulously hand-pinched, offering a genuine sense of artisanal warmth. The studio focuses on understated beauty, primarily employing techniques such as "Kouhiki" (white glaze), "Somenishiki" (underglaze blue), and "Yushita-sai" (underglaze color). Color is applied through layered slips to convey emotion, highlighting the gentle, rustic nature of the clay itself. The style is natural and unpretentious. Product Specifications: ● Dimensions: Ø 16 cm x H 2.5 cm ● Material: Hand-pinched ceramic / Clay + White slip + Transparent glaze + Iron oxide glaze / Fired at 1230°C ● Origin: Taiwan — Kindly Note — 1. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans and is one-of-a-kind. Slight variations in individual dimensions and glaze distribution may occur compared to the website photos. Please confirm before placing your order. 2. Handcrafted ceramics made with natural raw clay may exhibit a slightly rough surface or specks after firing. Glazing may result in natural phenomena such as crazing (cracks), air bubbles, unevenness (glaze crawling), or staining, which are not defects and do not affect usability. Please understand this before purchasing. 3. The glaze on handcrafted ceramics has pores, and the clay itself is porous. To prevent odors or staining, it is recommended to boil new ceramic ware in rice water before its first use. Allow it to cool naturally, rinse, and then use. 4. Upon receiving your package, please inspect the item's condition within 24 hours. If there is any damage, please reply to Xinzuo Tao immediately to facilitate a claim with the logistics provider and ensure your rights. — Care Instructions — ● Before first use, please wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations during use. ● Please refrain from using dishwashers, dryers, or microwaves, as rapid temperature changes can alter glaze colors or cause cracking due to vibration. ● For "Kouhiki" and similar ceramic ware, do not store immediately after use. After cleaning, ensure the item is thoroughly dried in a well-ventilated area to prevent discoloration or odor.
