This White Ceramic Tray is a thinly-formed plate handcrafted from purion clay. The monochromatic form bears depth by the delicate texture formed by Endo’s unique firing technique using the finest clay. This tray can be paired with any dish to help accentuate food and add a touch of modern elegance to the table.

Takashi Endo is a Japanese ceramic artist based in Kanagawa prefecture. Endo’s ceramic style is characterised by his sharp design and monochromatic palette that showcases the natural expression of clay. The coarse surface finish is achieved by mixing together porous clay sourced from Iga and Shigaraki - two of the oldest pottery-making regions which form the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. Fusing together the earthy quality with the artist’s modern sensibility, Endo creates unique one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces with an exceptional lightness that belies its bold form.

Endo’s works border precariously between functional craft and artistic gesture, with each ceramic piece offering a heightened experience of the clay’s materiality. He carves away excess clay to a bare minimum, revealing an array of natural textures such as the raised feldspar particles which is achieved by reduction firing, followed by a process of cold reduction. This delicate collection carries with it an understated beauty and stillness that is best reserved for savouring special moments.

Please note as each piece is hand-made, slight variation in shape and glazing may occur.
