Oval Small Plate Gray | Mino Ware
Couldn't load pickup availability
Elegant appearance
A small wooden oval plate with a gentle curve that gives you a warm feeling. 
It has a matte texture with some glossy parts, giving it a rich look. Although the color is the same and the manufacturing method is the same, each piece has a different shade of color depending on the firing process. I would be happy if you could feel the individuality and warmth that can only be achieved by handicrafts. 
Small but hardworking
For breakfast, add a little side of rice, such as pickles or tsukudani. At tea time, put strawberry daifuku or fruit on top and take a breather. Perfect for holding small side dishes or small snacks. 
For dinner, have something to rest your chopsticks with or something to cleanse your palate. Top with cheese and crackers for a blissful evening drink. Although it is small, it is a hardworking pot that is useful from morning till night.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven color. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
