Koichi Furuya / Furuya Porcelain Factory ｜ Raffle Plate M

Gentle tableware adds color to your dining table

"Raffle Plate M" by Furuya Ceramics, which has a workshop in Shigaraki.
The softly wavy edge design of this dish exudes a gentle atmosphere amidst its gorgeousness. The soft white of the powdered finish is perfectly matched with the texture of the glaze, giving it a somewhat antique feel. While it has the appearance of Western tableware, it also blends seamlessly with Japanese cuisine, enhancing a wide range of dishes.

The medium size, with a diameter of approximately 20.5 cm, is the perfect size for a main dish, bread, or one-plate meal. It's a versatile dish that can be used casually for a variety of dishes, including grilled fish, salads, and pancakes. Its moderate rise makes it ideal for dishes with liquids.

Choose from S and M sizes. They look beautiful when stacked and are easy to store. We also recommend buying different sizes and using them for family and guests. These are dishes you'll look forward to using at the dinner table every day.

[Commitment to white tableware] (Quoted from the Furuya Porcelain Company website)
White tableware enhances any dish and can be used freely and generously. We work every day to create elegant and warm "powdered white Japanese tableware." Clay is essential for making "white Japanese tableware." We create our own unique clay through careful soil cultivation, and use this clay to form potter's wheels and tatara pieces. The gentle, rustic earthenware color that peeks out from beneath the surface of the vessel gives it a very deep, rich feel. We would be extremely happy if you could use and enjoy the warmth of our Japanese tableware in your daily life.
