A vessel with a tranquil scene of blooming indigo flowers

Natsumi Ishii's "Iron-rimmed Blue and White Flower Design 5-inch Plate" is a pure and elegant piece with a floral design painted in pale indigo on white porcelain. The floral design, painted with soft brushstrokes, gives the impression of lightness, as if it were swaying in the breeze.

The rim is coated with iron glaze, and the contrast between the pale indigo and deep iron color gives the vessel a refined look.
This slight strength of the outline highlights the softness of the blue and white porcelain, bringing a quiet harmony to the whole piece.

The moderate size of 5 inches makes it ideal for everyday use as a dessert plate or side dish.
The appearance of the glaze changes depending on the amount of light, and you can feel its tranquil beauty no matter what angle you look at it from.

Indigo and iron, softness and dignity. This exquisite balance embodies Ishii's passion for creating "tableware that complements the surroundings with elegance."

Profile of Natsumi Ishii

He is a potter in Kyoto City. He also works under the name "Ishiimoke" and creates unpretentious tableware for everyday use, focusing on Kohiki pottery. The color of the earth faintly peeks through from beneath the white glaze, giving the pottery its rustic and gentle appearance. Despite its simple shape, the balance of the rim lines and foot is playful, making it a vessel that looks strangely good no matter what is served inside. In addition, in collaboration with painter Kawamura Aiko, he adds patterns reminiscent of the world of antique art, giving the pottery a story-telling quality. His works are filled with a soft and familiar world that is imbued with the atmosphere of Kyoto.
