A pool of coolness

Porcelain plates in pale blue glaze, newly produced in Arita. Shades of pale blue, a result of the glaze that pooled on the surface of the plate exude a sense of coolness in our daily life. Since the olden days, the pale blue porcelain has been compared to the beauty of the sky and clouds. This beauty has remained unchanged even to this day.
