A charming piece of Japanese decorated porcelain, the Inban Octagonal Deep Dish is made using traditional printing techniques such as stencil printing and copperplate transfer.

The Inban-de method developed rapidly after the Meiji era, making it possible to produce decorated porcelain by hand without relying on highly specialized porcelain painters. This helped bring patterned tableware into homes throughout Japan and played an important role in transforming the everyday dining culture of the time.

For those who appreciate the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, these irregularities are not flaws but part of the charm. Each plate is slightly different, making it a truly individual piece.

About the Copperplate Transfer Technique

For this plate, the design is transferred from paper printed on Japanese washi using a pigment called Gosu onto the unglazed ceramic surface. Because the process is carried out by hand, variations in the printed design are to be expected.

Please Note

• Each plate will have its own unique variations.
• Blurring, breaks, bleeding, colour fading, and uneven colouring may be present.
• These characteristics are a natural result of the traditional copperplate transfer process.
• This tableware is not recommended for customers seeking a perfectly uniform finish.
• For those who appreciate handmade character and traditional Japanese techniques, these imperfections are part of what makes each piece special.
