益子焼 Yoshizawa kiln Dinosaur Stegosaurus plate

$38.00 USD

Dinosaur Stegosaurus, you could tell from its characteristic rugged bone plates that line up along its back and its cute little face. The soft curves also give it the impression of a relaxed atmosphere typical of Stegosaurus. 

The size seems to be perfect for serving main dishes or as a one-plate dish for children. Children who like dinosaurs will also enjoy using it.

It definitely a good gift idea.

Also, we have a " Dinosaur Triceratops plate", made in the same size. These two plates suggested to use together with family members. You will have a lot of fun.

Disclaimer

The pottery of Yoshizawa Kiln is all handmade, it is not recommended for those who prefer neatly arranged pottery. Even if they are made the same thing, they are all different in size, shape and color.

You can see fine iron dots, blue dots, unevenness, and small holes in the handmade vessels. There are individual differences on the pattern of the edges. You can feel the unevenness, pooling, and flow of the glaze on some pieces. Some of the bottoms have swirly wavy lines.

Be careful when using a metal spoon! Light colored dishes such as white and gray, may leave traces called “metal marks” when rubbed strongly with a metal spoon. This is because metal is weaker than pottery, and fine pieces of metal chipped off due to friction enter the cracks of the pottery and remain.
