Stoneware Sushi Platters
Living on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound off the coast of Washington State, we delight in setting our table with fresh fish on a weekly basis. Here traditions of the near and far east mix with native and western coastal traditions as fresh fish is caught, prepared, and cooked.
I use a light colored clay stoneware to make sushi platters for the table. Using a light colored stoneware allows me to use oribe and shino glazes, as well as slip, crystalline, reduction and stoneware and porcelain glazes to obtain a variety of colors and color affects in my soda kiln. Shino and oribi ceramics are part of the Japanese tradition of pottery making. During the firing of these platters, a small amount of wood is introduced along with soda during the 18 to 24 hour firing.
Combining function with a beautiful form is the goal of these shushi platters offered in a variety of sizes, colors and glaze options. These platters also may be used as presentation platters. Platters are lead free and dishwasher safe.
