Elegant appearance
A plate with a hexagonal silhouette that gives you a nostalgic feel. 
Two shrimp are carefully drawn on transparent white porcelain with a slight bluish tinge. The painting is wonderful, giving you a sense of emotion, as if you are looking into a water bottle. What tightens up the entire pottery is the rust-colored glaze applied to the edges. It has a mature and dignified appearance, , and it seems like it will cast an elegant light on the dining table.
For daily side dishes
A convenient size that can serve side dishes for about 2 people. Because it is deep, you can safely serve juicy dishes such as boiled fish. 
You can transform the sashimi platter you bought into a restaurant-like atmosphere just by plating it up with the pieces! They can also be stacked, so it's a good idea to keep multiple copies for your family or 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】 
As each item is handmade, there may be slight variations in size. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Each painting is carefully done by hand, so the thickness of the lines may not be uniform. 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.
