Origin: Yamaguchi, Japan
Material: Glazed stoneware
Diameter: approx 21cm
A piece by Ryuji Matsuno, a contemporary Hagi potter. Hagi ware is known for its soft glazes, organic clay bodies, and quiet forms - favoured in tea ceremonies for how its muted tones heighten the vivid green colour of matcha.
This vintage Japanese plate is minimal and expressive, finished in milky whites and soft greys, with a fluid glaze pattern that forms an abstract shape across its surface. The shallow profile makes it suited to use as a serving plate or display piece.
Believed to date from the late 20th century, in the period when contemporary potters like Matsuno were reinterpreting traditional Hagi forms. The plate comes with an original cardboard box.
Signed on the base.
Vintage condition, with some chips and glaze imperfections consistent with age.
