Small Slab Plate by Haga Ryuichi
This plate is perfect to serve a small delicacy to accompany fine Japanese tea.
White slip is applied on the very dark clay body and heavily crackled in the firing process.
A beautiful object in its own right. The local clay used is very heavy in nature so is this plate, also with its thickness.
Made in Mashiko, Japan.
One of a kind studio piece made by Haga Ryuichi.
Fired at high temperature in the artist's Anagama kiln.
Dimension:
12.5 x 12.5 x 2.5 cm / 5 x 5 x 1 inches
About Maker
Haga Ryuichi is a self-taught potter who lives in the ceramics town of Mashiko in Japan. Digging local soil and minerals for the clay bodies and glazes of his pieces, firing in a self-built kiln, each process needs time and labour yet is essential for him. He sees this whole journey itself as part of the making of his art of fired earth.
