Known for its earthy textures and meditative forms, Onta Yaki embodies the spirit of slow craftsmanship and natural imperfection.

Dimensions: height 5 cm, diameter 27 cm.
Condition: Perfect.

The plate’s interior features a softly carved spiral at the center, surrounded by a radial, sunburst-like pattern beneath a semi-gloss glaze. The surface flows with organic tones of sand, beige, moss green, and rich brown, creating a calm and timeless presence.

The back is finished in a bold drip-glaze pattern in brown and black, with the potter's seal impressed at the edge of the foot—a quiet signature of its maker.

This piece is equally functional and sculptural, ideal for serving, displaying on a low table, or mounting as wall art. A beautiful accent for interiors that favor minimalism, natural materials, and Japanese design philosophy. This piece has an attribution mark,
