Yanashita Hideki Raku Plate

Diameter: 13.5  cm 

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. A dango skewer is visible as a decoration on the front and back of the plate.

Attention! Raku ceramics must air out for about two days after use. During this time, the vessel should not be placed in a closed cardboard box or a 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 detergent and do not put in the dishwasher.
