This is a Bizen-yaki leaf dish. It has a potter's mark, but the artist is unknown. It's a jagged leaf shape, like a holly or maple leaf. It's a modern piece with a rough, cut-off texture from the slab construction. You can enjoy the different "hidadaki" (flame-induced red streaks) patterns on each piece. As they are handmade, there are variations in warping, so they don't stack perfectly. There's a small chip-like area on the edge of the 14th piece, but it's original. This is a dish with a gentle image of "hidadaki," different from the rough image of Bizen-yaki. It's a beautiful, unused item that has been stored away. It's about 18 cm long, so it's quite large and would go well with cakes or canelés. Although it's a Japanese dish, it also has a Christmas feel, so it's recommended for serving sweets or osechi (New Year's dishes). I think it would also be cute as a pedestal for displaying Christmas decorations. It's a wonderful piece of pottery that can be used practically or simply displayed. We offer items that are easy to incorporate into everyday life, despite the high-class image of Bizen-yaki, so we hope you will pick one up and use it. How about the art of fire, Bizen-yaki? It will be shipped via Mercari.
