Slipware Handmade Square Plate by Momoko Shiohata - S/L [Limited Qty]

Crafted by Japanese ceramicist Momoko Shiohata, this slipware square plate demonstrates mastery of traditional slip-decoration, with hand-applied surface patterns that vary subtly from piece to piece. The compact square format accommodates both functional table service and curated display. Its glazed surface withstands regular use while preserving the tactile, organic quality inherent to handmade ceramics. An exclusive, limited-run work rooted in contemporary Japanese pottery practice.

These square plates showcase Momoko Shiohata's command of traditional slipware - clay slip applied to leather-hard forms before firing to create distinctive surface patterns. The result is a lightweight, durable vessel with understated elegance. Its versatile scale and matte finish work equally well for plated service or as a standalone display piece, seamlessly merging Japanese ceramic heritage with modern dining practice.

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.
