A small turquoise blue plate from a kiln in Tamba-Sasayama. This is an edged plate, so it can also be used as a small dish for soy sauce, sauces, etc. As turquoise blue tableware absorbs oil, it is recommended to "seal" it before use. It seems best to run the dish under water before placing food on it when you start using it. Do not place oily dishes, stir-fries, tempura, or fried foods on it right away. First, use it for dishes with less oil, such as simmered dishes, and once the color has settled, you can put stir-fries, hamburgers, and other oily foods on it. If you put oily foods on it right away, it will absorb the oil and stain. "About Pottery" Unlike porcelain, pottery has a rougher texture in both the clay and glaze, so water may slowly seep out if left in water for a long time, but this will stop as you use it. "Sealing" Boil the water with rice washing water or flour dissolved in water, soak the dishes in it, and leave them until they cool. After that, wash well with detergent and dry. In the case of pottery, the inside may not be dry even if the surface is dry. Please dry it thoroughly as it can cause mold. This turquoise blue pottery will deepen in color as it is used. There are various things to consider at first, but it will be a very enjoyable "growing dish". 【Size】Approximately 10.5cm in diameter, approximately 1.8cm in height 【Material】Pottery 【Origin】Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture / Japan 【Remarks】Microwave safe, Dishwasher safe 【Please Note】 ◆ Because the pottery is handmade, each piece has a different texture and expression.
