Dark Brown Flower-Shaped Ryoka Plate (18cm)

This elegant Flower-Shaped "Ryoka" Plate is handcrafted by Mashiko potter Ryuta Goto, embodying the rich tradition of Mashiko ware.

The Ryoka plate, as it is called, features a design with cuts along the rim, giving it a flower-like appearance. The final touch is the application of the traditional black glaze, known as Kuro-yu, a hallmark of Mashiko ware pottery. This glaze adds a deep, lustrous finish, highlighting the intricate details of the flower-like design. Although referred to as a "black" glaze, the actual color appears more like a rich dark brown. The gradation from the center to the edge is strikingly beautiful, adding a lustrous quality. This subtle variation in hue adds depth and warmth to the piece, making it a versatile addition to any table setting.

The plate measures approximately 18 cm (7 inches) in diameter, making it a perfect size for serving a piece of toast or a slice of cake. Its compact and versatile design is ideal for everyday use, whether you're enjoying a casual breakfast or a delightful dessert.

Measurements: Approx. φ18cm x 3cm / 7" x 1.2"
Material Type: Ceramic
Designed and handcrafted in Mashiko, Japan

Each piece is unique, with slight variations in color, shape, and size. These differences are a hallmark of handmade craftsmanship, adding to the charm and character of the plate. We hope you enjoy these subtle, distinctive qualities that make each piece special.
