Seto Plate

Seto PlateSeto ware, known for its elegant simplicity and centuries old tradition, originates from Seto City in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Crafted with an unconscious skill, Seto ware embodies the essence of wabi sabi, celebrating imperfections as part of its beauty. This low plate exemplifies the Seto tradition and features a beautifully muted yellow color and a perfectly crackled glaze.
