Seto Ware Flower Shaped Plate Black Gold
With over a thousand years of history, Seto ware stands among Japan’s most renowned ceramics. Born in the late Heian period and refined through the Kamakura era, it embraced glaze techniques inspired by China. Its artistry balances science and intuition — harmonizing minerals, flame, and air. Subtle variations in kiln temperature and atmosphere create distinctive tones and textures, making each piece unique in its finish and character.
A deep black glaze meets golden crystallization, creating a subtle, unique character. Reimagining the traditional rinka (petal-edged) plate, these pieces explore round, square, and oval forms.
This plate is ideal for serving a single portion of salad or pasta.
