In Japan, the way a dish is presented is often as important as the dish itself. The Ito Tsumugi rectangular sushi plate is a cornerstone of that tradition — its long, elegant shape designed not just to hold food, but to frame and display it. This porcelain sushi plate honours traditional Japanese crafts, through a minimalist contemporary design. Whether used for sushi, sashimi, grilled fish or vegetables, or as a side plate, it brings a sense of occasion to any table without demanding too much attention. The fine, delicate lines in classic navy and white are inspired by tsumugi, a centuries-old Japanese silk weaving tradition. There is a gentle rhythm to the design that rewards a closer look. Like tsumugi fabric’s subtle irregularities of hand-spun thread lines, the plate’s pattern is one of simplicity. It recedes gracefully when the plate is dressed with food, and comes into its own when it is not.

Angle work with various pottery manufacturers in Japan — from fine porcelain to earthenware — to create contemporary designs using traditional and local Japanese techniques. They focus on producing tableware to suit modern lifestyles, while retaining the familiarity of materials, provenance and history of artisanship. As their name suggests, they like to view ceramics from all angles and perspectives. Porcelain Width 12.5cm x Length 20.5cm x Height 2cm Suitable for microwave and dishwasher
