"Mishima 4-inch plate" by Maruya Nukaga is a small plate made using the traditional Mishima-te technique. You can enjoy the white pattern of Mishima on a gray background. There are also glaze pools here and there, and the rough texture gives it a sense of strength and wildness.

The size is suitable for everyday use as a dessert plate or side dish, and it can be used for a variety of dishes and occasions, both Japanese and Western.

Nukaga Maruya's works are made using coarse-grained clay, and are masterpieces that allow you to experience the fun and depth of character that only earthenware can offer.

*Since each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color and pattern.
*Due to the iron and pebbles contained in the raw clay, iron spots, pinholes, stone cracks, and crazing may be visible, but we hope you will enjoy these as part of the beauty of the pottery.
* Before use, soak in water to prevent color transfer and odor transfer.
