Soy Sauce Dish - Black Iga Vortex

This dish is a must-have for sushi and sashimi or for presenting your tsukemono (Japanese pickles) or spices.

Iga ware or Iga-yaki comes from the Iga region in Mie Prefecture. This type of pottery has a long history dating back over 1,300 years, and it is renowned for its rustic and earthy appearance.

Iga ware is known for its durability, and the rough texture of its clay, which is rich in organic matter. The pottery often features natural, unglazed areas that highlight the raw beauty of the clay.

The black Iga vortex design incorporates a spiral pattern, which is created through the carving process and features speckles of glaze which add a dynamic and visually striking element to the dish.

The contrast between the deep black glaze and the natural clay body, combined with the intricate vortex pattern, creates a visually appealing and unique piece of pottery.

The vortex symbolises the flow of energy, water or wind; it is often associated with natural beauty and movement.
