Kasengama Kiln

Porcelain vessels created by the Mikawachi ware kiln "Kasengama," under the supervision of ceramic artist Shingo Oka.
Kasengama is a renowned kiln of Mikawachi ware, boasting over 400 years of history, located in Mikawachi-cho, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
The smooth texture of the glaze, the functional and user-friendly forms, and the soft, antique-like aesthetic effortlessly blend into any dining table.

Ruri-ji Shiryo 4.5-sun Small Plate

This is a small, four-sided plate with sharp ridges accentuating its plump, curved form.
It's the perfect size for snacks, small desserts, or as an individual serving plate.
I use it to serve fruit at breakfast or a small bite of appetizers in the evening.
Small plates are versatile and useful in any setting, and you can never have too many.
The pale, gentle light lapis lazuli vessel has a beautiful expression created by the flow of the glaze, evoking a certain emotional depth.

Notes

Handling Precautions

・When using for the first time, always wash with water or lukewarm water.
・"Medome" (pre-treatment) can help prevent food colors from seeping in.
・After use, remove dirt promptly and store after drying thoroughly.
・When stacking, place a sheet of tissue paper between items to prevent scratches.
・Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents with abrasives, scouring powder, metal scrubbers, etc., as vigorous scrubbing may scratch the surface. Please wash with a soft sponge.
