Onta Yaki Ceramic Plate – Japan, ca. 1950

This exquisite Japanese ceramic plate is a refined example of Onta Yaki – a traditional pottery style from the mountains of Kyushu, celebrated for its artisanal craftsmanship and timeless simplicity.

Dimensions: Height 6 cm, Diameter 30 cm

The interior features a mesmerizing hand-carved radial pattern, with fine incisions radiating outward like sunrays from the center. A subtle spiral movement at the heart of the design adds depth and dynamic rhythm. The color palette is warm and organic: soft cream, beige, and earthy brown with a gentle, glossy finish.

The back is glazed in a rich chocolate brown, with an unglazed foot bearing an (illegible) impressed mark – characteristic of authentic Onta Yaki ware.

This plate is in excellent condition and serves as both a functional piece and a decorative object. A striking interior accent for lovers of Japanese design, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and handcrafted detail. Perfect for wall display, as a table centerpiece, or for serving small dishes or fruit in style.

A unique piece with soul and history – ready to begin a new chapter in your home.
