Set of 5 flat chawan (small plates) believed to be Hagi-yaki. Hagi-yaki is a traditional pottery representing Yamaguchi Prefecture, known for the "seven transformations of Hagi," the way its colors change with use. These plates have a "kairagi" glaze, which creates a wrinkled pattern on the surface, giving them a unique, rough texture. This design is also appreciated in the world of tea ceremony as a beautiful feature, and the fact that each piece has a different expression is also appealing. Flat chawan have a wide, shallow shape that makes food look beautiful. They are easy to use as side dish plates, serving plates, or dessert plates, and are versatile for everyday use or for guests. They have a potter's mark and are believed to be the work of a kiln (Rokuryu? Dairyu?), and are recommended for collectors and those who love Japanese tableware. They look great with Japanese sweets. I bought these because I thought the kairagi pattern was really cool. 【Condition】 They are in good condition with no noticeable signs of use. There may be minor scratches due to home storage, but they are offered at a lower price as a result. The cracks and color changes are part of the charm of Hagi-yaki. 【Shipping】 ・Instant purchase OK ・Ships within 24 hours ・No smoking, no pets #Hagi-yaki #Flat Chawan #Japanese Tableware #Kairagi #Small Plate Set #Pottery #Traditional Craft #Tea Ceremony Utensils #Pottery Lovers #Japanese Modern #Tableware Lovers #Yaki-mono (Pottery) #Bulk Sale #Tableware for Guests #Japanese Food Lovers
