All pieces are hand builded and are all unique. The decoration on the surface are free-hand painting of a traditional peony flower. Peony are seen a lot in Asian pottery and the means abundance. I tried to let the stroke be as loose as possible while painting to give a relaxed feel. The wish on these plates are to bring a lot of abundance for our family.

18cm size plate is not flat but a like a shallow bowl in the center. It’s good with small portion of salad, marinates with its sauce, simmered vegetable with its broth. The size, proportion is for Asian meals. In Japan we also use these as “Torizara 取り皿” which is a little buffet plate. Also, as a reminder there are no rules so go wild and experiment with it and have fun.

全ての器は手捻りで作られており、故、ひとつひとつがユニークです。描かれた模様は下書き無しにフリーハンド、線がのびのびと緩やかに流れる様に描きました。同じように描いてもちょっとづつ違う。その日の気分で器から感じ方も変わるでしょう。描かれた花は芍薬。中国及び東南アジアで良く使われるモチーフです。家族の繁栄、幸せの願いを込めて描かせていただきました。

器の寸ぼうは１８センチ。取り皿的な大きさになります。中心がちょっと凹んでて器の下に汁が溜まるような形なので、サラダ、煮物、酢の物など器の下にちょっとお出し、ソースを盛り付けたい時に綺麗に盛り付けされます。
