Bizen ware plate

This Bizen plate is the work of Kazuki Nakamura, who follows in the tradition of master potters Rokuro and Makoto Nakamura, creating works of deep aesthetic appeal. The kiln-altered glaze is magnificent, creating the illusion that the scorching summer sun has been captured and burned onto the surface like film. The gentle, rounded form created by hand-beating the clay conveys the characteristic warmth of earthenware. Even the underside is beautifully dyed in a brilliant scarlet, promising to develop even more character as it is used over time. Original wooden box (with two-sided slats)
