益子焼 Yoshizawa kiln Taiyaki plate small

$26.00 USD

A small plate shaped like a taiyaki.

The color that represents the golden-brown taiyaki is "oldwhite", which gives it an old-fashioned feel.

The Edges are slightly raised, so you can use it for things with a little some juice. The size makes it easy to use as a sweets plate or serving plate. It is cute and heartwarming when you use it for a snack time. It is a fun dish that will make you feel happy. 

(The color of the roast varies from customer to customer, with some being whitish and others a dark brownish. With the characteristic of oldwhite, a kiln change ( chemical reaction) called Gohonte occurs, and some pieces have a pattern that looks like a pink stain. But please note that it will be shipped entrusted to you)

About the Tatara making

1. Cut the well-mixed clay into slices; 2. Put the clay on a plaster mold and mold it.
So unlike potter’s wheel making, you can make various shapes such as oval, square and flower.

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.
