♦︎A color that feels a hint of cherry blossom pink♦︎ A soft impression, like a touch of madder red. The overall color of the plate also has a certain atmosphere. This plate has a strong presence. ♦︎The grass patterns and bamboo leaf designs also have a gentle atmosphere♦︎ Aya Kiln's tableware, which combines gentleness and elegance. ♦︎The undulating lines when viewed from the side are also attractive. (See photo 4.) ♦︎Not too small, just the right size. Of course, it's suitable as a side plate for meals, but it also looks great with cut cheesecake or chiffon cake. It suits not only Japanese but also Western styles. This is a design of tableware that I have been using for years and will never get tired of! The plates I am selling here were purchased to increase the number of plates I have, but I haven't used them much. I have several, so I am selling these. This is a medium-sized plate. 14.5 cm wide, 13.5 cm long 《Aya Kiln》 The kiln of Fumiko Nakazato, the first female artist in Karatsu. After 3 years of training under Living National Treasure Manji Inoue, she opened "Aya Kiln" nearly 40 years ago. She is a pioneer of female artists in Karatsu. She has also devoted herself to training disciples, and has produced 10 disciples. Ms. Fumiko's personality is also good, humorous, powerful, and a wonderful artist. Her style has dignity, softness, and a gentle atmosphere. ⚠️Unfortunately, there is a small chip in one place. See photo. It's a pottery plate, and it's not very noticeable because it's in the gray area. See photo 8. If you don't mind, please consider it. ♦︎Due to being handmade, there are individual differences in the color of the plates, but I think this medium-sized plate is a beautiful item, with its flowing bamboo leaf design and the hint of pink color. I personally think that the chipped part is in a dark gray area, so it won't be noticeable when used. Since this is a plate made by Ms. Fumiko of Aya Kiln, it is actually expensive to buy at the regular price. Please take advantage of the great value that Mercari and used items offer. I saw someone else selling this plate without any chips for 5,500 yen. Also, although it is not this design, there are Aya Kiln plates being sold for 15,000 yen. How about getting a valuable Aya Kiln piece at a great price? Stored in a cupboard. Used item. #️⃣The first female artist of Karatsu ware #️⃣Made by Fumiko Nakazato #️⃣Aya Kiln
