This 6inch (15cm) diameter plate is made of the same clay as the Sencha kyusu series, the signature product of Nankei Pottery. Both the rim and the body of the plate are flat. This refined and simple shape gives a clean, modern impression. The matte-textured surface has a slight trowel marks, giving the plate a feel of clay.

The red clay with high iron content is used, and the iron carbonizing during the firing process produce the rich ink-black color of “kuro-neri”.

Since no glaze is used, oil marks may remain on the surface, but the texture will settle as you continue to use over time.

The highly viscous clay is baked at high temperature, so it does not absorb water and leaves no scent.
It can be used as a serving dish or dessert plate. Please enjoy matching it with your favorite tea utensils and using on a variety of occasions.
