Kanayama Matte Brown Rectangular Sashimi Plate 8.3" x 5.4"
“Tsugaru Kanayama” pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir in Tsugaru, Aomori prefecture. This matte brown collection, called "Sangiri”, is produced by indirectly heating pottery that's buried in ash. The same effect is also achieved when pottery is fired in a furnace and heated until oxidation occurs. The lack of oxygen that these methods create causes whites, greys, and blues that are seen in nature to appear in patterns on the surface of the pottery.
This rectangular matte brown plate has a rustic and unique design, which will complement any cuisine, like French, Italian, and Mexican as well as Japanese. This is a perfect size for serving assortments of appetizers, sashimi, or a main dish.
The appearance, color, shape, and size may vary depending on the season, resulting in a distinct character. Not suitable for use in an oven and a microwave. Dishwasher safe.
