Echizen Plate

Plate, stoneware

Diameter 15.8 cm

This plate comes from the Hôgetsu kiln and was handmade by the Kondô couple using freehand throwing. When the plates are stacked on top of each other in the kiln, circular areas are formed where the support cones rest, which stand out visually from the ash deposits. The top plate of a stack accordingly has no such areas.
