Zoho Kiln Small Condiment Plate - 4 Options / 蔵珍窯 小
蔵珍窯 (Zoho gama) is a kiln deeply rooted in tradition yet continuously evolving to meet the needs of modern life. The name "Zoho" reflects this legacy—"Zoho" combines "蔵" (storehouse) and "珍" (treasure), symbolising the kiln’s mission to create tableware as rare and precious as treasures worthy of safekeeping.
A defining characteristic of Zoho kiln’s tableware is its striking use of red, crafted with bengara(紅柄) pigment through a meticulous process spanning 1,000 days. This distinctive red not only brings vibrancy to each piece but also transforms over time in the hands of its user, deepening into a rich patina with continued use. The bengara used at Zoho kiln is no longer produced and cannot be found on the market, making it an incredibly rare and treasured material—a true "phantom red."
When we visited their kiln in Tajimi City, Japan, we were struck by the Koizumi family’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and their passion for creating tableware that balances beauty and utility. Each piece carries their philosophy of enriching daily life through artistry and mindfulness, and we are honoured to bring these extraordinary works to you.
As the whole piece is handmade in Japan, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
