Description
This is a set of two porcelain side plates created by Toukoubou Yu.
Formed using a semi-porcelain clay made by blending traditional clay and porcelain clay, the plates showcase a simple yet elegantly refreshing design that is distinctively characteristic of Toukoubou Yu.
At the center of each plate, hand-carved motifs such as a bus stop or a fish are carefully executed using the Kakiotoshi (scraping) technique, adding a warm and expressive touch to the otherwise minimalist surface.
Instead of a cold, stark white, the glaze presents a soft, warm white hue with subtle depth. Accents like reddish patches and black spots from the wood firing process enhance the rich, muted tone of the plates.
Though these works already have a calm, matured atmosphere, they will develop even more character over time. With continued use, Kannyu (fine glaze crazing) will gradually absorb tea stains and deepen in color, giving the plates a beautifully aged appearance.
