Small Square Dish, White Glazed

A small square dish with iron specks floating in the soft white of the white slip.

Tansen Kiln is a pottery studio located in Imada-cho, Tamba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, in the home of Tamba ware, one of Japan's six ancient kilns. The third-generation potter, Seiji Ichino, is a full member of the Japan Association of Craftsmen. In addition to creating works in anagama and climbing kilns, he makes everyday tableware that brings out the character of Tamba clay together with his daughter, Chisato Ichino. This small dish is made from reddish-brown clay coated with white slip and finished in a square shape with softly rounded corners.

01. The rustic texture of the white slip

Iron specks peek through from beneath the white slip, creating a warm, off-white finish with a subtle hint of natural clay.

02. A gentle square with rounded corners

The square shape features rounded corners, giving it a gentle impression that is not too sharp. It can also be enjoyed paired with round small dishes.

03. The clay color peeking through the rim

The clay color peeks through at the rim and on the underside, and the contrast with the white accentuates the outline of the dish. Perfect as a small dish for condiments, pickles, or Japanese sweets.

■ To ensure long-lasting use

• Soaking it in water before first use will help prevent stains and color transfer.
