Jun-yo Kiln Kentaro Takasu Iron-Colored Rimmed Round Plate / 30cm Dish ◉ Retail Price: 8,250 yen (tax included) A work by Kentaro Takasu of Jun-yo Kiln in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Purchased at a pottery fair several years ago. I washed it once, but I treasured it too much and stored it in the cupboard without using it, and it became an ornamental piece(^^) *Item stored by a private individual ● Diameter → Approximately 30cm, Height → Approximately 2.5cm (Rim width approximately 2.2cm) *Regarding care* (Quoted) ▪️About the Material Pottery is absorbent and prone to staining. Color may enter the cracks (called "kannyu") and become noticeable. As it is made of clay, the color will change, and the more you use it, the more flavor it will develop. We hope you will nurture it day by day. ■What to do before use First, wash it quickly with lukewarm water to remove dirt. You can use it immediately after washing it. If you put the dish in a pot with rice washing water and boil it for more than 20 minutes, let it cool, rinse it with water, and dry it, the rice washing water will fill the clay particles, making it less likely to stain with tea stains or other stains. Some dishes have a rough underside (kodai), so if there is a risk of scratching the table, it is a good idea to lightly rub it with sandpaper. ■Daily handling As you use and wash it repeatedly, the clay will tighten and gradually become more durable. Soaking it in water or hot water before use will make it less likely to absorb dirt. ■After use After use, wash it quickly with water, lukewarm water, or dish soap, wipe it, and dry it well before storing. Be careful as leaving it in dirty water can cause mold and odor because water can seep in and be difficult to remove. Please refrain from soaking. ◆Price reduction is not possible #JunyoKentaroTakasu #KentaroTakasu #ItoshimaFukuoka #Utsuwa (dish) Shape: Round plate Item Type: Large plate
