Simple small plate in warm Seto yellow.

Created by Nakagawa in collaboration with Suigi Pottery as part of the "Essential Set" series—designed for casual daily use of regional Japanese tableware. This piece draws inspiration from "ishizara" (stone plates) beloved by common folk during the Edo period, capturing their humble, unpretentious character.

From Seto, renowned for pottery production spanning over a thousand years and synonymous with ceramics itself, this plate embodies the town's legacy of practical, enduring craftsmanship. The warm yellow glaze adds a gentle glow to any meal.

Minimal yet maximally versatile, this small plate handles everything from breakfast toast to evening desserts. Part of a collection designed to work seamlessly across all three daily meals.

[Before First Use]
To prevent staining and protect the fine surface cracks (crazing), we recommend performing the following preparation steps:

1. Place the ceramic item in a pot with rice rinsing water (or, plain water with a handful of uncooked rice or table spoon of flour)
2. Heat over medium-low heat until just before boiling
3. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes
4. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature in the liquid
5. Remove, wash thoroughly with mild detergent, and dry completely before use

This traditional "sealing" process fills the microscopic pores in the clay, helping to prevent stains and extend the life of your ceramic piece.
