This elegant Flower-Shaped "Ryoka" Plate is handcrafted by Mashiko potter Ryuta Goto, embodying the rich tradition of Mashiko ware.

The Ryoka plate, as it is called, features a design with cuts along the rim, giving it a flower-like appearance. The final touch is the application of the traditional black glaze, known as Kuro-yu, a hallmark of Mashiko ware pottery. This glaze adds a deep, lustrous finish, highlighting the intricate details of the flower-like design. Although referred to as a "black" glaze, the actual color appears more like a rich dark brown. The gradation from the center to the edge is strikingly beautiful, adding a lustrous quality. This subtle variation in hue adds depth and warmth to the piece, making it a versatile addition to any table setting.

The plate measures approximately 18 cm (7 inches) in diameter, making it a perfect size for serving a piece of toast or a slice of cake. Its compact and versatile design is ideal for everyday use, whether you're enjoying a casual breakfast or a delightful dessert.
