Flat Round Plate – Inyo #02

A plate that feels calm and quietly bold. This piece from the Inyo Series shows the balance between light and dark, glossy and matte. A deep tenmoku glaze flows across warm stoneware clay, creating a soft line where the glazes meet.

Because the plate has no rim, the form feels open and spacious. The surface becomes almost like a small landscape where dark glaze, warm clay, and soft tones come together naturally in the kiln.

Why You’ll Love It

The wide rimless shape gives this plate a very calm presence on the table. It feels simple and natural, yet still has a strong character.

The meeting point between the two glazes creates a gentle line that shifts slightly from piece to piece. Sometimes it is sharp and dramatic, sometimes softer and more fluid. That moment where the glazes meet is always different.

It works beautifully for everyday meals, shared dishes in the middle of the table, or serving something simple like bread, fruit, or pastries.

When stacked together the plates create a beautiful layered edge where the darker glaze lines appear between the lighter clay.

About the Inyo Series

The Inyo Series began as a quiet experiment. I was curious what might happen if I dipped each piece in two different glazes — one dark and rich tenmoku, the other soft and transparent clear glaze. The result reminded me of a landscape: layered, spontaneous, and full of contrast.

“Inyo” is the Japanese word for yin and yang — and this series reflects that idea in both form and finish. Where the two glazes meet, something new and unexpected always appears. Some flows are bold, others gentle — each piece completely unique.

Every item in the series is made slowly and intuitively by hand. The variation in the glazes gives them a sense of quiet movement, and a presence that goes beyond function.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates both the bold and the simple.
