About the object: Akiko Takahashi's square serving plate comes with a thin, brown glaze, has a side length of approx. 13 cm and is only 0.5 cm high. This flat plate is part of Akiko's "Itazara" series and has a narrow rim on the top and beveled edges on the back. These edges create a pleasant grip when carrying the plate.

Manufacturing process: For her "Itazara" (flat plate) series, Akiko cuts the clay into thin slabs and compresses them with a press to reduce air and minimize deformation. The clay is cut into shape using a template and the inner surface of the top is carefully carved, leaving a sharp, clean outer edge. On the back, all edges are beveled to create a comfortable grip for the fingers. Each piece is dried slowly and thoroughly to achieve a flat, stable shape. Akiko fired her work in an electric kiln at 1245 °C in a carbon-reducing atmosphere.

  • Akiko Takahashi ceramics can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher if necessary. For hand washing, please use clear water and gentle detergents, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a soft brush.
  • Dry the ceramic carefully after cleaning to avoid water stains.
  • Akiko's ceramics are not suitable for the microwave or oven, as strong temperature fluctuations can damage the product.
  • Ceramics can be rougher on the underside than containers made of other materials. We therefore recommend protecting sensitive surfaces on which the ceramic is to stand from scratching if necessary.
Manufactory

Akiko Takahashi

Akiko Takahashi is a Japanese ceramist who runs her small ceramics studio called Yanasan Kobo in Yanaka, a quieter part of Tokyo. Akiko designs and makes each of her ceramics at her workplace, which is just the size of "four tatami mats" (approx. 6 square meters). Akiko Takahashi has been making pottery since her primary school days and the reason why she still does it today is simple: working and shaping the clay with her own hands and holding a finished object in her hands at the end is what motivates Akiko.

Akiko writes: "I want my objects to bring moments of discovery and joy to those who use them. Not only functionality, but also inspiration."
