Square Plate - Hippo by Takunobu Sawada

Pottery that embodies the warmth of handcrafted work

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush but are created by scratching away the slipware base.

Each line has movement, resulting in a finish that conveys unique artistry and warmth.

Takanobu Sawada, whose father is a Kyoto ware/Kiyomizu ware potter, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and already has 20 years of experience in pottery making.

At 30 years old, he is a craftsman with solid skills who has reached the level of a veteran.

Sawada, with his fresh sensibility and refined skills, creates unique pottery full of Kyoto's distinct originality.

Please experience its charm in your daily life.

Comments from the Owner

This is a beautiful square plate with animal designs, featuring a clean shape.

It's just the right size for serving small side dishes like omelets or salads.

It also works wonderfully as a dessert plate for cakes or Japanese sweets.

With its cute animal designs, this versatile plate gently brightens up your everyday dining table.
