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. Stylistically, the plate belongs to the Raku tradition. 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 wooden box, as this can 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 dishwashing liquid or put in the dishwasher.
