Thank you for viewing. OTAI CERAMICS TAJIMI Tajimi, Otai Kiln Gratin Dish, Square Plate, Deep Dish Size: Approximately 15cm (length) x 24cm (width) x 5cm (height) Condition: Small chip on the foot This item is from **OTAI CERAMICS (Otai Kiln)**, a kiln located in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, a leading production area for ceramics in Japan. Tajimi City is a town where the tradition of "Mino ware" is deeply rooted. Otai Kiln carefully preserves that traditional technique while also embracing designs that incorporate the light, airy feel of Europe and free-spirited ideas. Each piece is made by the kiln's artisans, considering the materials (clay, glaze, pigments), and brings a "slightly special time" to your everyday dining table. This work also reflects that philosophy, a "vessel that makes you happy every time you use it." It is a design that fits not only as Japanese tableware but also on Western tables, and is also recommended for those who like Scandinavian designs such as Arabia. ※Usage Notes: Due to the nature of pottery, there are fine irregularities on the surface. When using it as a new vessel, you can use it safely for a long time by performing methods such as "medome" (sealing).
