Flat Plate XL Sage Celadon

For carpaccio and caprese style food, when you want to drizzle olive oil evenly the flat bottom is easier to use than a dish with a concave center. Additionally you can use it as a board for appetizers like bread, cheese, and salumi.

This calm shade is soft and classical and compliments any food palette.

Some pieces contain a crackle pattern in the glaze, called crazing. Crazing and the occasional pinhole (small hole in the glaze) are characteristics of green celadon. The same can be seen in old Chinese celadon pottery, and some even try to accentuate the crackle pattern. It is a result of kiln temperature fluctuation and is a naturally occurring phenomenon, a matter of luck as I see it. Glaze crazing does not affect the structural integrity of the vessel. Industrial manufacturing tends to define such occurrences as "defective,” but I hope that you will consider it a positive aspect of handmade work that contributes to the uniqueness of each piece.

Hanako makes each piece by hand, one by one. Slight variations in size, shape, color, and surface are inherent to the process. We hope you will embrace these small differences as characteristics that give each piece individuality and character, making them all the more lovable.
