White | Japanese Onta Ware Ceramic Plate Set
This set of two plates was produced in the Japanese island of Kyushu according to ancient techniques dating back to the 15th century when Korean potters brought new techniques such as kiln designs and ash-glazing.
These plates were handmade in the village of Onta where a few potters work together as a community creating objects both for daily use and artistic purposes. Onta pottery has been designated an Intangible Cultural Property of Japan meaning that potters continue to work according to traditional methods and perpetuate important old knowledge and savoir-faire.
The modern design of these plates is reminiscent of the Mingei movement created by Soetsu Yanagi in the 1920s in Japan. The Japanese philosopher discovered beauty in everyday ordinary and utilitarian objects created by anonymous craftsmen.
These versatile plates can be used daily in our kitchens or as a beautiful decorative object in the house.
