Side Plate – Inyo

A small plate with a calm, natural look — perfect for everyday meals, snacks, or a little treat with your morning coffee. The Inyo Series is all about contrast, and these plates capture that beautifully. One half has a soft, creamy glaze, the other half carries the rich tones of tenmoku that melt into a warm swirl in the center. Every plate comes out of the kiln with its own quiet flow and a slightly different pattern.

The bottom has a slightly raised foot that gives the plate a gentle lift.

Why You’ll Love It

These plates bring a really lovely balance — simple, warm, and just a little sculptural. The contrast between the glazes gives each piece its own character, and the swirl in the center adds soft movement that feels great when you hold it.

The raised foot gives the plate a refined feel and makes it easy to pick up from the table. They’re perfect for breakfast, desserts, small dishes, or even as a little display plate for fruit or jewelry.

The bottom has a slightly raised finish, just enough to give the plates a gentle lift. It makes them easy to pick up, and stacked together they create a really clean, subtle line that looks beautiful as a set.

Pair it with the matching bowls or cups from the Inyo Series to complete your set.

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.
