Amanogawa Serving Dish

These beautiful ceramic dishes are handmade and wood fired. Each piece when it comes out of the kiln has subtle differences in flashing, light ash deposits and glaze, all dependent upon how the flame has passed by and between the work. ‘Amanogawa’ refers to the Milky Way in Japanese, literally a ‘heavenly river’, reminiscent in the densely speckled glaze. The unusual firing in a wood kiln also gives the dishes a contrasting raw, scorched base.
