Toshiko Ochiai : ceramic dish

$98.00

Serve dumplings with their dipping sauce tucked alongside in this handmade dish by Toshiko Ochiai. A curved divider forms a small compartment at one side, keeping everything together on the table.

Ochiai presses the clay into moulds in her Mashiko workshop, leaving the weave of hessian imprinted underneath. Turn the dish over and you can see this trace of its making. She fires her pottery with wood over several days and nights, and the mottled blue-green glaze gives each dish its own variations in colour.

Each dish is sold individually.

Ceramic. Clay pressed into moulds, with hessian weave marks on the underside. Hand washing recommended. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

A, B and C: approximately 17.5 × 16 × 5 cm.

Toshiko Ochiai established her own kiln in Mashiko in 1979, after studying ceramics at Musashino Art University and training with local potters. Working among the wooded hills, she fires her pottery in traditional wood-burning kilns over several days and nights. She hopes each piece will enrich everyday life and carry something of “the pulse of the earth and flame” into the home.
