A small rectangular dish, fluted from a flat centre out to the rim, where each rib ends in a soft scallop so the border reads like a pleated paper fan. The milky glaze settles into the grooves and thins along the ridges, letting the dark clay show at the edges.
Its name is the Japanese word for a drink taken at home with the evening meal, and it suits the few small things set out alongside one: olives, pickles, a wedge of cheese. Part of the Banshaku Collection.
Dimensions: 17 x 10.6 x 1.3cm.
Handmade ceramic, made in Paris.
