A set of 5 inlaid ceramic plates by a ceramic artist. I purchased these here before, but I'm selling them because I haven't had the opportunity to use them. The following is a quote from the previous seller's description: A set of 5 inlaid ceramic plates made by a ceramic artist. Retail price is 4,000 yen per plate. I purchased them at a solo exhibition in a gallery near Ise Jingu Shrine. Inlay is a technique where a pattern is carved into the surface of the clay, clay of a different color is inlaid into the recesses, and the excess clay on the surface is scraped off to reveal the pattern. These items reflect high skill and the careful work of a professional. They have a matte, slightly rough texture. They are the perfect size for serving cake, and I think they are also easy to use as serving plates for meals. Recommended for those who like Jiro Yoshida, Masanobu Ando, Ryuji Mitani, Kazumi Tsuji, Mikiko Iiyama, Junko Kanari, Reichu Uda, Shinsaku Nakazono, Kenichi Ozawa, Masako Ito, KOHORO, MUJI, etc. Approximately 15cm x 15cm (There are individual differences due to the hand-formed nature of the pieces) Although they are new, they have been in someone's possession once, so please consider purchasing them with the understanding that they are pre-owned.
