This is a gorgeous square plate featuring a delicate pink gradient and cherry blossom design with touches of green. It showcases a harmonious blend of the handmade "tatara" technique by skilled artisans and refined craftsmanship. The cherry blossoms are depicted with a fresh color palette, evoking the arrival of spring. Thanks to the exquisite techniques unique to the Toan Kiln, the plate has a finish that looks like a painting. Because it is formed using the tatara technique instead of a potter's wheel, it is not a perfect rectangle, giving it a warm, handmade feel. Toan Kiln's works are also characterized by the absence of cracks, making them resistant to staining. It can be used as a square plate, of course, but also for serving sweets or grilled fish, and even as interior decor, offering a wide range of uses. I purchased this new at the store for my guests. I think I used it once or twice. It has been stored in a dedicated cupboard in an air-conditioned pantry. There are no chips or cracks, and it is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches. Since it is not a factory product, the patterns and sizes may vary slightly. Please note that no two are exactly alike. *Because it is for entertaining guests, many items are unused or in excellent condition, and there are also different patterns such as matching teacups, rice bowls, and plates. Please inquire about the number of items and combined shipping. I love tableware and have collected many different colors and sizes for my guests and for work photography. I will offer a discount for combined shipping. #Search for GonToan Size: Approximately 19cm (length) x 24cm (width) x 3cm (height) Artist: Toan Dobuchi (Toan Kiln) Toan Kiln, a Kyoyaki/Kiyomizu-yaki kiln, is a historical and prestigious kiln that opened in Higashiyama, Kyoto in 1922, and the current head, Yoshiaki, is the fourth generation.
