Know before you buy
This plate is specifically designed for the inspection of tea leaves. Its compact size and neutral, milky white glaze provide a clean background for evaluating the quality, shape, and color of dry or steeped leaves.
No, this plate is neither microwave nor dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of the artisanal ash glaze, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the finish.
The plate measures 70 mm (approximately 2.76 inches) in diameter with a height of 2.5 cm. It is intentionally small to keep the focus entirely on the tea leaves being examined.
Because this plate features an artisanal Japanese rice-hull ash glaze, each piece will have unique variations in texture and finish. This is a characteristic of the traditional firing process and adds to the individual charm of the item.
While it is made of food-safe ceramic, its small size and specific design are intended for tea leaf observation rather than serving food. It is best utilized as a functional tool for your tea ritual.
