Plate that add elegance
A plate with a fluttery flower-like border. 
It has a milk glass-like atmosphere and a smooth texture. The combination of matte texture and soft gray is the perfect balance of cute but not too sweet. This is a pottery that gives you a sense of modern beauty. 
Size that is useful at the dining table
The size is easy to use for serving side dishes or as a serving plate. Even just arranging the side dishes you bought will make it look great. Chicken teriyaki and salmon with sour cream. The edges are slightly raised, so it's okay if it's a little juicy. 
Serve with a platter of colorful namul, cheese, and salami to accompany your drinking time. Fluffy pancakes topped with ice cream can also be used as a dessert plate. They are easy to pick up and can be stacked, so it's a good idea to have multiple copies for your family and guests.

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 item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, thickness, color, etc. [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.
