Side Plate 21.5cm / Java Glaze

The Java glaze is characterized by its earthy palette of soft beige and charcoal tones, with a textured spiral pattern that mimics the natural lines of a tree ring or the ripples of water. This design is achieved through a meticulous hand-glazing process, where layers of glaze are applied to create a subtle, tactile texture. The spiral motif is both calming and visually dynamic, adding a sense of movement and flow to the plate.

The outer rim of the plate is finished in a rich charcoal glaze, providing a striking contrast to the lighter spiral pattern at the center. This combination of light and dark tones gives the plate a modern yet rustic feel, making it a versatile piece that can be paired with a variety of table settings, from casual to formal.

Each piece is made from Minoyaki porcelain, a type of ceramic that has been produced in the Gifu prefecture of Japan for over 1,300 years. Minoyaki porcelain is celebrated for its strength, refined finish, and ability to highlight intricate glaze patterns, making it the ideal material for showcasing the Java glaze’s detailed texture.
