Follow @laimaceramics to see hands and hearts behind these! :)
Organic, irregular, minimalist elongated stoneware plate and tiny dip bowl ideal for soya sauce.
SET includes: 1 plate and 1 dip bowl
Outside and bottom is natural vitrified black stoneware, inside is glazed with a matte bronze with crystalline development, with small volcanic inlay on one side (surface for volcanic glaze is textured, but not rough, suitable to go in dishwasher).
High fired to 1240 C, making the pieces non-porous, strong and durable for regular use. Foodsafe and dishwasher safe.
A functional and timeless addition to daily rituals.
SIZING:
sushi plate L:31cm, W: 14cm (weight 600g)
(sizing for these varies up to 3cm either direction, as they are roughly free-formed on natural rock mould)
sushi dip bowl: d=6.5-7cm, h=2-3cm (weight 75g)

"Wabi-sabi is the quintessential Japanese aesthetic.
It is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
It is a beauty of things modest and humble.
It is a beauty of things unconventional.
It is also two separate words, with related but different meanings.
"Wabi" is the kind of perfect beauty that is seemingly-paradoxically caused by just the right kind of imperfection,
such as an asymmetry in a ceramic bowl which reflects the handmade craftsmanship,
as opposed to another bowl which is perfect, but soul-less.
"Sabi" is the kind of beauty that can come only with age,
such as the patina on a very old bronze statue."
