Shino Tokusa 5-Sun Plate — Kiln-Fired Japanese Pottery by Shigehisa MiuraThe iron rich glaze on this plate deepens toward the foot and shifts as the form curves. On the table it changes with the light and with what is placed on it the dark, settled surface giving food a quiet ground to rest against. Shigehisa Miura forms and firing each plate by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to receive full attention. The result is a plate made to hold food well and to be noticed on the table. Japanese ceramics
