GRAY PLATE

Brand:1616 / arita japan

Following the tradition of Arita pottery, Teruhiro Yanagihara developed a new series of ceramics using the traditional technique of clay made of crushed stone, though in a different composition. The result is a high-density kind of clay that makes the pottery items extremely strong and heat and stain-resistant, even without glaze. A special agent added to the clay provides the Standard series with a characteristic light grey, mat tone.

The series clearly show Yanagihara’s interest in borderless design. Items don’t have predetermined functions but allow different combinations and usages and good stackability among the Standard products. Square plates, for example, can be used as trays and small round plates double as lids. Bowls can be used for both Japanese rice or Western-style morning cereals, while the small cup is made for Italian espresso, it also perfectly serves Japanese sake.

• Manage when using
All products of 1616 / Arita Japan are available for electronic use and refrigerator. Wipe out the angled inner corner carefully during washing to keep it clean and for a long time. Be careful not to use it at high temperatures, as it may be weak against impact.

• TY Greyline cleaning method
Of 1616 Arita Japan, TY Gray Line carves the surface with stone without glazing to create an attractive matte finish. It is 1.8 times the strength of normal pottery, and is sufficiently heat-resistant for use in hot (300 degrees) ovens. Due to their own characteristics, they are not able to penetrate thick food such as oil due to their lack of absorbent properties. It is recommended to use a ceramic sponge to handle stains on the surface during use. This does not cause wear on the ceramic itself. It is recommended to rinse the patient thoroughly after care. Some matte products on the S&B line are recommended for management in the same way.
