Arita Ware Kichiemon Blue Bubble Glaze Plate

A stylish Arita Ware plate featuring “Bubble Glaze” (Awa Kesho / 泡化粧), an original technique developed by Kichiemon Porcelain. The plate has a gently recessed centre that provides an elegant setting for food, allowing each dish to be presented beautifully with a sense of space and refinement. The distinctive surface is created by artisans applying a special bubble glaze individually by hand, producing expressive patterns and subtle variations unique to each piece. What makes the technique particularly special is its sustainable approach to porcelain making. Broken bisque-fired pieces that would normally be discarded are finely crushed and blended into the glaze, giving the material a new purpose while helping to reduce ceramic waste. Size: Approx. Ø234 × H32 mm Material: Porcelain Ware: Arita Ware Kiln: Kichiemon Porcelain Technique: Bubble Glaze (Awa Kesho / 泡化粧) Made in Japan As the Bubble Glaze is applied individually by hand, variations in pattern, texture and appearance are natural characteristics of each piece.
