Luxury Mutsumi Ohashi Unglazed Yakishime Oval Plate – Japanese Southern Alps Ceramic

Craftsmanship & Technique:
Each unglazed oval plate is meticulously handcrafted using yakishime, a revered high-temperature wood-fired process that spans over four days in a traditional kiln. This technique allows the clay to mature naturally without glaze, resulting in a subtle, earthy texture shaped by the interplay of flame, ash, and time. The plates carry the unique marks of the firing process, making every piece one-of-a-kind.

Material & Origin:
Crafted from premium local clay sourced from the Southern Alps region, these plates reflect the raw beauty and rugged elegance of their origin. The unglazed surface offers a tactile experience that evolves gracefully with use, becoming glossier and more familiar over time.
