Kiln-Altered Crescent Shaped Plate - 22cm - Indigo

This crescent-shaped plate, finished in a deep indigo shade, is a versatile addition to any kitchen, drawing on the Japanese colour tradition of 'Gunjo'. The unique variations in hue come from its kiln-altered process, where the glaze and flame interact organically, ensuring no two plates are exactly alike.

Its curved shape makes it an ideal companion for resting and serving elongated food items, such as tonkatsu, with its design thoughtfully accommodating accessories like the Pearl Life Stainless Steel Tonkatsu Resting Rack (20cm).
