Catalogue Description: From a set of six dishes, each hand-formed and hand-glazed for different shapes and surface effects. Each dish is oblong, formed from a flat slab of clay, curved and cut on a bias to create serrated edges, mimicking a leaf. Hagi-style glaze, with a blush of pink and slight bluish undertones, is applied to most of the surface. A small area of unglazed buff-colored clay is left exposed on one of the long sides, with iron brown glaze loosely brushed or dabbed onto that surface. The group arrived in a signed and sealed wood storage box.
