Marble Plate 18 cm by Takemura Yoshinori
Marble-esque ceramic plate 18 cm.
Hand thrown porcelain with Nerikomi technique.
With Nerikomi pieces, the clay itself was pigmented, and marbled in the throwing process. The marble pattern is not only on the surface but runs through the body of each piece. See the back of the plates.
Front surface is thinly glazed, and has subtle sheen. Some part of the front surface might look slightly glossier than others at an angle. The back is unglazed.
Generously thrown, and you would feel them heavier and chunkier in your hand than they look.
Food safe.
Please note that due to handmade nature, the size varies slightly and there might be unevenness in glazing on the front surface with each piece.
Made in Japan

About the Maker
Takemura Yoshinori's whimsical and improvisational style goes happily along with the vast variety of colour he conjures. All his works are porcelain, which he "dresses up with glaze", focusing on "finding the right dress to fit the form". He enjoys these one-off sessions.
Although his works seem to be totally free from any ceramic tradition in Japan, Takemura has a highly expert background of Japanese applied arts. Before turning a full time maker, he has worked as a restorer of artefacts using various traditional techniques, including art of Japanese lacquer.
Takemura is a graduate of Musashino Art University, and completed M.A. of Conservation and Restoration at Tokyo University of the Arts. Based in Chiba where he grew up, he holds regular workshops, punctuated by his own exhibitions.Care
