This is a set of two plates purchased about 8 years ago at a cafe in Kanazawa. They have depth, so they can be used for curry and pasta, as well as salad bowls. I'm selling them because I have too many dishes. They are in beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches. • Product Description Original Kutani ware tableware series from "Full of Beans," a 90-year-old traditional Japanese house cafe. Produced "Nine Valley Pottery." Kutani ware that allows you to enjoy the soft texture and warm feel of Ishikawa-made Kutani red clay. It's a new Kutani ware that gently embraces any dish. Each piece is handmade and baked, making them one-of-a-kind. The texture and feel differ from piece to piece. Original developed glaze "Plant & Soil." We aimed for a glaze that wouldn't detract from the texture and feel of Kutani clay, and developed it independently at the Ishikawa Prefecture Kutani Ware Technology Center. Hanasaka ceramic stone and Kutani red clay are used in Kutani ware. We wanted to maintain the warm texture and feel of Hanasaka ceramic stone while making it strong enough to be used in a dishwasher. Therefore, we blended Kutani red clay and repeated mixing experiments with Kutani ware artisans many times. And thus, the original clay of Nine Valley Pottery was born.
