Condiment plate - Sealing Hand Octagonal Plate (15cm)
Discover the charm of imperfection with this traditional Sealing Hand octagonal dish, measuring approximately 15cm in diameter. These porcelain plates are crafted using a historical technique known as copperplate transfer printing, developed during a time of rapid innovation in Japanese ceramics.
This method—similar to stencil —involves hand-applying printed patterns using pigment on Japanese paper onto unglazed porcelain. Although this technique can result in minor flaws like fading, colour bleeding, or uneven patterns, these “imperfections” are part of its handmade appeal.
Originally, this printing method helped spread decorated tableware across Japan, making artistic porcelain more accessible to everyday households. Today, it is a rare and cherished craft, appreciated by collectors and design enthusiasts who value character over perfection.
Please Note:
Each dish is unique. Expect variations in pattern placement, slight colour irregularities, and other signs of the hand-transfer process. These are not defects, but characteristics of the craft. If you prefer perfect finishes, this style may not be suitable.
