A small plate with a "swan" motif, When designing this swan as a vessel shape, the "neck" part was the bottleneck. The elongated neck, which can be said to be a characteristic of the swan, was realized by integrating it with the body. A ballet-inspired pattern is on the torso. The color is "white" without gloss. The beak is individually hand-painted with gold.
It's a wonderful dish that can be used as a sweets plate or a small serving plate. In addition, fine iron spots can be seen througout, and there are parts where the glaze is uneven.

Disclaimer
The pottery of Yoshizawa Kiln is all handmade, it it not recommended for those who prefer neatly arranged pottery. Even if they are made as the same thing, they are all different i 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.
The appearance of the baked color and pattern is different for each customer. There are many fine iron, spots, glaze deposits all over, and crystallized white spots of glaze. In addition, the crack pattern "crashing" between the glaze and the substrate can be seen throughout.

You can put fine patterns on the inside of the pottery taht you made with mod sauce. The size and shape of the plates differ slightly from one customer to another.
