This is a turquoise blue lunch plate S from a kiln in Tamba-Sasayama. It's a versatile dish, suitable for use as a cake plate, a bread plate, or a small salad plate. Its unique, irregular design is a charming feature. As turquoise blue dishes absorb oil, it's recommended to "seal" them before use. It's also a good idea to run the dish under water before placing food on it when you first start using it. Avoid placing oily dishes, stir-fries, tempura, or fried foods on it initially. Start with dishes with less oil, such as simmered dishes, and once the color settles, you can start using it for stir-fries, hamburgers, and other oily foods. Placing oily foods on it immediately can cause the dish to absorb the oil and stain. "About Pottery" Unlike porcelain, pottery has a coarser texture in both the clay and glaze. If left with water in it for a long time, water may seep through, but this will stop over time with use. "Sealing" Boil rice washing water or water mixed with wheat flour, then soak the dishes in it and leave them until they cool. Afterwards, wash them thoroughly with detergent and dry them. In the case of pottery, the inside may not be dry even if the surface is. 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 become a very enjoyable "growing dish." 【Size】Approximately 18cm x 17.5cm, Height approximately 1.5cm 【Material】Pottery 【Origin】Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan 【Remarks】Microwave safe, Dishwasher safe 【Important Notes】 ◆As the items are handmade, each one has a different feel and appearance.
