Kasama ceramic plate bear pre-shrunk cottonThese beautifully proportioned platters are constructed from chunky slabs of clay, each one uniquely transformed by the kiln's heat to produce a rich and intense persimmon glaze. A stunning way to serve sashimi or cheese, it would be equally effective as part of a sculptural display of different ceramic forms and glazes. Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, Kasama is a relative new comer in Japanese ceramics, established a little over 250 years ago.
