The Crazed Storm Glaze Side Plate is a stunning piece that beautifully combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern design elements. This 19.5 cm side plate features a unique crackle or “crazed” pattern on its neutral cream surface, created by a specialised glazing technique that forms delicate lines resembling a network of fine fractures. A thick drip glaze then softens the crazed design. This drip is unique to each piece.

About the Crazed Storm Glaze:

The “crazing” effect, also known as a crackle glaze, is achieved by creating intentional stress between the glaze and the clay body during the cooling process. This technique is rooted in Japanese ceramic traditions, often used to add depth and visual texture to the glaze. The result is a series of intricate lines that catch the light and add a dynamic element to the plate’s surface, symbolising the beauty of imperfection that is highly valued in Japanese artistry.

This piece is a versatile addition to both rustic and modern table settings. Each plate is handcrafted in the Minoyaki region of Japan, known for its expertise in porcelain and stoneware production for over 1,300 years.
