Yanashita Hideki Raku Plate Fuji

Dimensions:  20.8 x 14 cm (width x height)

Earthenware

This plate was hand-built by the versatile ceramicist Yanashita Hideki. Yanashita owns several kilns in which he mainly fires tea ceramics in the Raku, Ido, Shigaraki, Iga, and Shino styles. The plate is stylistically Raku in nature. The shape of the plate is reminiscent of Japan's landmark, Mount Fuji. 

Attention! Raku ceramics must air out for about two days after use. During this time, the vessel should not be placed in a closed box or a wooden box, as this may cause a musty odor. Low-fired ceramics absorb a little water and therefore need to dry out for a longer period. Do not clean with dish soap and do not put in the dishwasher.
