I was invited to a rare opportunity to fire in the East Creek Anagama kiln in my area, and this group of dishes turned out incredibly well. I would prefer to keep them as a group in hopes that they find their home in a tiny restaurant that often seems to require about 25 pieces. I offer a large discount for chefs ordering in bulk. Please contact me if you have other ideas :)

These are made of a smooth porcelain whose color is derived from a tiny mine in Idaho, and then they were fired in a particular kind of firing known as reduction cooling, where the kiln is still stoked after peak temperature is reached and as the kiln is cooling. This is a bit of an esoteric process but the moody smokey colors that are pulled out of the clay body suit my tastes to perfection. The dark palette is worth the extra effort.

This dish shape is the most useful to many chefs: all forms are a gentle ovoid frame, measuring about 9 1/2” by 8” by 1 1/2”. The central flat area is about 3” by 4”, with a soft slope up from there. They stack well, they have a rounded lip that resists chipping, and they are interesting without being distracting to the chef’s creations.

I have 30 at present, plus a few that are gorgeous but have a bit of a wobble, available at half price.

Note! this group even has small wing bowls that match!
