This is a turquoise blue lunch plate S from a kiln in Tamba-Sasayama. It's a versatile dish, suitable as a cake plate, a bread plate, or a small salad plate. Its unique, irregular design is its charm. As turquoise blue dishes absorb oil, it is recommended to "seal" them before use. It seems best to run the dish under water before placing food on it when you start using it. Do not immediately place oily dishes, stir-fries, tempura, or fried foods on it. First, use it for dishes with less oil, such as simmered dishes, and once the color has settled, you can place oily foods like stir-fries and hamburgers on it. If you immediately place oily foods on it, it will absorb the oil and stain. "About Pottery" Unlike porcelain, pottery has a coarser texture in both the clay and glaze, so water may slowly seep through if left in water for a long time, but this will stop as you use it. "Sealing" Put rice washing water or flour dissolved in water into the pot, boil it, and soak the dishes in it, leaving 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 become a very enjoyable "growing dish." 【Size】 Approximately 18cm x 17.5cm, approximately 1.5cm 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 appearance.
