This Seto-yaki stoneware ceramic plate set by Maruko Nakashima embodies the rustic charm and refined simplicity of Japanese craftsmanship. Made with the traditional Kohiki glaze, these plates highlight the beauty of earthy, textured pottery, perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions.
 
🍽️ Kohiki Glaze: Natural and Evolving – The glaze gives the plates a soft, powdery white appearance that resembles flour dusted over the surface. This unique white carries a warm, earthy tone with natural speckles, and each plate shows slight variations due to the hand-applied glaze. Over time, the glaze may develop a patina, reflecting your usage and creating a unique, personal touch – a beautiful expression of the wabi-sabi aesthetic, where ageing and imperfection enhance its charm.
 
🍽️ Thoughtful Design & Practical Comfort – These plates feature a slightly raised rim, making them perfect for serving a variety of dishes, from main courses to desserts. The smooth, rounded edges and natural glaze finish give each plate a rustic, organic feel. The deliberate glaze variations add texture, inviting you to appreciate the subtle, handcrafted details.
 
🍽️ Versatile Everyday Use – Ideal for meals, snacks, or desserts, these plates add a touch of Japanese aesthetic warmth to your table setting. Their sturdy form and natural glaze make them durable for daily use, while the individual patterns ensure that each piece has its own character and charm.
