Slipware Handmade Small Plate by Momoko Shiohata - [Limited Qty]

Handcrafted slipware plate by acclaimed Japanese artisan Momoko Shiohata, featuring distinctive slip-decorated surfaces that showcase the artist's refined technique. Each piece is individually made, resulting in subtle variations that underscore its artisanal origin. The small format suits intimate dining or display, while the glazed finish provides everyday durability. A limited-quantity offering that captures the essence of contemporary Japanese ceramics craftsmanship.

Measuring roughly 6 inches across, this handmade plate employs the traditional slipware method - a liquid mixture of clay and water, applied to leather-hard clay vessels for color and pattern before firing, creating vibrant earthenware for everyday use. Momoko Shiohata's design balances visual restraint with functional versatility - the lightweight construction and durable glaze make it equally suited for plating appetizers, mains, or desserts. A refined piece that bridges Japanese ceramic tradition with contemporary table use.

Note:

Before using your new ceramic piece for the first time, we recommend soaking it in clean water for at least two hours. This allows the clay to fully absorb moisture, helping to prevent odors and stains from setting in.

Daily Care Instructions

Avoid leaving food or beverages in the vessel for extended periods (especially overnight), as moisture may seep through and leave water marks on surfaces. After use, be sure to dry the piece thoroughly to prevent any residual dampness.

On the Nature of Ceramics

Handcrafted ceramics naturally change over time, developing a richer patina with use. This gentle transformation is part of their unique charm. We hope this piece becomes a beloved part of your everyday life.
