While visiting Koishiwara Ceramic Village in Japan, I discovered a stunning oversized dish displayed high on a wall. Intrigued by its beauty, I asked the owner if it was for sale. He kindly agreed, sharing that it was a rare piece created two generations ago by a master potter. Never used, it had been passed down as a cherished family heirloom. Now, this timeless dish has made its way to the US, ready to become a new part of your home—whether as a showpiece or a functional work of art.

Story:

Koishiwara pottery began in 1682 with the relocation of the Korean Takatori workshop, initially focusing on porcelain. By the mid-eighteenth century, the distinctive Koishiwara style emerged, shifting to dark-firing stoneware. In the mid-twentieth century, advancements like electric kilns improved efficiency and profitability, enabling potters to enhance their craft. Today, Koishiwara ware is celebrated for its ties to the mingei movement, blending tradition with modern craftsmanship.
