Antique Blue Octagonal Rectangular Plate (Medium) - Crafted By Takuya Ohara

Takuya Ohara makes each rectangular plate by hand — formed, glazed, and fired individually. The rectangular format is less common than round plates in Japanese ceramics, which makes it particularly suited to dishes that need a considered presentation. Takuya Ohara is based in Shiga, Japan. Each plate is glazing by hand from start to finish — shaped, glazed, and fired individually, with every surface given the same care as the overall form. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Hand-glazed Japanese pottery Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Shiga, Japan Artisan: Takuya Ohara Size: 23 × 13 × 2.5 cm (9.1 × 5.1 × 1.0 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
