This is a creative piece, a square plate with a cool, smoky silver color. This item is a one-of-a-kind piece that is the origin of the currently available high-end square plate "Kuroyaki Botamochi." It was purchased directly from the kiln owner, the artist, at the "Shigaraki Pottery Festival" held in Shiga Prefecture every autumn, about 10 years ago. I love the black, rough-textured skin of Shigaraki pottery, but I also adore the metallic, dragon-like silver flavor of this piece. With a modern Japanese and Western design, it's a versatile piece that can be used as an interior decoration to display small items, or for serving anything from fruit to sushi and tempura. 8 sun (approximately 24 cm) The dimensions are based on 24 cm and have been slightly modified. ◾ We kindly request that those who appreciate the works of contemporary ceramic artists consider purchasing this item.
