Gradient Plate (Medium) | Shozo Kiln

The beauty of smudged gradients created by multiple layers of spray.

Tamba ware is said to have originated from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, and is one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan (certified as a Japan Heritage site). Shusaku Ichino of Shozo Kiln (Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) is an artist who, after graduating from Ryukoku University, honed his skills at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics and Pottery Technology College, and continues to create pottery as the third generation of his family. While cherishing traditional techniques, he produces contemporary works with rich colors and delicate flows, and has received numerous awards, including the Grand Prize at the Kobe Biennale Contemporary Ceramics Competition.

01. Delicate gradients created by layering sprays

Instead of applying glaze all at once, the glaze is sprayed in multiple layers, creating a gradient that spreads out from the white center to the color of the rim, as if bleeding. The "scenery" (black spots) created by firing appears in the center, giving each plate a unique expression.

02. Enhances dishes with a clean appearance

The simple round plate shape with minimal decoration highlights the beauty of the gradient. This plate enhances a wide range of dishes, from main courses to desserts.

03. Two-color expressions: Red and Yellow

We offer two colors: a passionate red and a bright yellow that adds color to your dining table. Please choose according to your dish and occasion.
