Japanese green rectangular plate with spiral

A green plate that seems to hold a little water.

Its deep, translucent green glaze is marked in the centre with a spiral pattern. Seen from above, the pooled glaze makes the plate look as if it holds water: an effect that brings a natural touch to the table. Small light dots punctuate the surface.

Its lines are clean and its edges slightly raised. At 26.8 cm long and 11.6 cm wide, it holds a row of sushi or a few tempura.

It comes from the Toki-Tajimi region, Gifu Prefecture, home of Mino ceramics.

For sushi, sashimi, tempura or desserts. Made in Japan.
