Know before you buy
The 'yo-hen' effect is a traditional Japanese glazing technique that results in subtle, intentional variations in color and texture. Because of this, no two plates are exactly alike, giving each piece a unique, artisanal character.
Yes, the Kinto FOG plate is designed for daily convenience and is both microwave and dishwasher safe.
With a diameter of approximately 7.87 inches, this is a standard salad plate size. It is perfectly suited for salads, appetizers, desserts, or smaller lunch portions.
The porcelain construction is durable and intended for regular use. However, because of the matte finish, we recommend avoiding abrasive scouring pads during cleaning to maintain the smooth texture of the glaze.
The Ash White color is a soft, muted tone that leans toward a light, misty gray. It is designed to mimic the subtle, atmospheric quality of a foggy morning rather than a stark, bright white.
