Handmade by Kyohei Nakagawa in Karatsu, Japan
 
Handbuilt plate in stoneware. Powdered Karatsu, also known as 'Kohiki', derives its name from its distinctive surface texture, resembling a powdery or whitish deposit. While the original clay color is brown, the pottery's surface undergoes a remarkable transformation, acquiring a stunning white hue through the addition of white muddy water.
 
Dimensions: w-15cm x d-15cm x h-2cm
