They are useful for a small side dish, a sweet or even a little personal accessory. One account traces their origin to teshiozara, small dishes of salt used for ritual purification at the dining table. That story inspired the name of POTPURRI's new brand, Teshio.<\/p>\n<p>We are introducing two shapes: Mitsukumo and Sazanami.<br \/>\nMitsukumo is a flat small plate that presents sweets, side dishes and pickles beautifully. Sazanami has enough depth for beans and dishes with a little liquid.

Its rounded, deeper shape holds small foods such as sweetened beans, making them easier to pick up.<\/p>\n<p>Once we decide on the direction of the shape, we make prototypes to explore the relationship between clay and glaze and determine the production method.<br \/> For these trials, we used three types of clay and several glazes, forming the prototypes from sliced clay slabs in a technique called tatara.

Liquid clay is poured into a plaster mold and allowed to firm up. Molds make it possible to produce pieces with relatively consistent shapes and quality.<br \/>\nEven with molds, many details still depend on handwork, from mixing the slip to finishing the rims and applying the maker's mark.<\/p>\n<p>First, we make a casting mold.<br \/>\nCeramics shrink considerably as they become denser during firing. We calculate this shrinkage when drawing the plans for the mold, then make a master plate to match the drawings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"height:9px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_989310149\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5e4896966c9944fcf00890f4502605bf.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5e4896966c9944fcf00890f4502605bf.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5e4896966c9944fcf00890f4502605bf-510x362.jpg 510w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5e4896966c9944fcf00890f4502605bf-563x400.jpg 563w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5e4896966c9944fcf00890f4502605bf-768x545.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_989310149 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_501572318\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"754\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cb79e4279c41f852ca70d64e3b88ed04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cb79e4279c41f852ca70d64e3b88ed04.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cb79e4279c41f852ca70d64e3b88ed04-510x385.jpg 510w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cb79e4279c41f852ca70d64e3b88ed04-531x400.jpg 531w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cb79e4279c41f852ca70d64e3b88ed04-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_501572318 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p>We build a surround around the master plate and pour in liquid plaster to make the casting mold.

The plate is then checked for defects such as flaking glaze or cracks before it is finished.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_468082313\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/184e1fbbe38c6fb97ef918a7cd7090a8.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/184e1fbbe38c6fb97ef918a7cd7090a8.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/184e1fbbe38c6fb97ef918a7cd7090a8-510x345.jpg 510w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/184e1fbbe38c6fb97ef918a7cd7090a8-591x400.jpg 591w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/184e1fbbe38c6fb97ef918a7cd7090a8-768x520.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_468082313 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"height:20px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_334080244\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/gazou.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/gazou.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/gazou-510x381.jpg 510w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/gazou-535x400.jpg 535w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/gazou-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_334080244 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"height:20px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/div>\n\n<h3>Bring a lively, festive touch to the everyday table<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Even familiar side dishes or prepared foods feel thoughtfully presented when served in small portions on individual plates. For New Year dishes such as sweet black beans or chestnut-and-sweet-potato mash, a small plate makes each serving clear and easy for guests to enjoy. The plates themselves also add color and a festive note to the table.<\/p>\n<p>It is useful to have several small plates when people gather over the New Year holidays. With their motifs drawn from nature, Mitsukumo and Sazanami also make thoughtful wedding or housewarming gifts.<\/p>\n<p>The name Teshio recalls a small dish traditionally associated with ritual purification at the dining table. Why not make these little plates part of your New Year celebration?<\/p>\n\t\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 row-normal\" >\n  \n\t     <div class=\"product-small col has-hover product type-product post-5909 status-publish first instock product_cat-brand product_cat-teshio product_cat-plate product_cat-dining product_cat-all product_tag-small-plateplate has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-variable\">\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\n<div class=\"badge-container absolute left top z-1\">\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"product-small box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-none\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/en\/product\/%e4%b8%89%e3%81%a4%e9%9b%b2small-plate-%e8%b1%86%e7%9a%bf\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-247x247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Teshio\u306e\u9752\u3044\u8c46\u76bf\u8868\u9762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-247x247.jpg 247w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/f2e014b748ef311010e0d5e3ae176d4a.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small top right show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools is-small hide-for-small bottom left show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-tools grid-tools text-center hide-for-small bottom hover-slide-in show-on-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.potpurri.co.jp\/en\/product\/%e4%b8%89%e3%81%a4%e9%9b%b2small-plate-%e8%b1%86%e7%9a%bf\/\" aria-describedby=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_5909\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"add-to-cart-grid no-padding is-transparent product_type_variable add_to_cart_button\" data-product_id=\"5909\" data-product_sku=\"\" aria-label=\"Select options for \u201c\u4e09\u3064\u96f2 Small plate \u8c46\u76bf\u201d\" rel=\"\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\"><div class=\"cart-icon tooltip is-small\" title=\"Select options\" data-no-translation-title=\"\"><strong>+<\/strong><\/div><\/a>\t<span id=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_5909\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">\n\t\tThis product has multiple variants.
