Comments

Originally designed for the Palace Hotel in Tokyo, 1961. Inspired by the Imperial family crest - the chrysanthemum flower in full bloom. This plate is fit for a special occasion although constructed for everyday use. Part of the new TY series; Anise, constructed for everyday use. This “TY” series by Teruhiro Yanagihara follows the tradition of Arita pottery finished in a modern, borderless design. A special agent is added to give its grey colour and matte finish. In combination with the dense clay used to make it, no glazing or extra finishing is needed.
