The form is a simple wide, flat-bottomed dish with a gently curved wall and a dark iron-glazed rim edge. Unlike the tobikanna (chatter-carved) pieces in your other listings, this plate is decorated with a freehand painted wavy line band — loose, rhythmic brushstrokes in dark iron pigment running just inside the rim, a simpler and more painterly Onta decorative style sometimes called nagashigake or hakeme-adjacent brushwork, distinct from the combed or carved patterns. The interior glaze is a soft ash-cream tone with visible concentric throwing rings radiating from the center, and a fine crackle runs through the surface.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Onta ware (Onta-yaki), Sarayama, Hita, Ōita Prefecture, Japan — traditional mingei folk kiln\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Form: Shallow, flat-bottomed round plate with dark rim edge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Technique: Freehand painted wavy line border in dark iron pigment, rather than carved\/combed decoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Glaze: Soft ash-cream glaze overall with visible throwing rings; dark iron glaze on the rim edge and on the raised central disc of the base, with a pale ash\/slip drip accent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Base: Wide unglazed stoneware footring surrounding a raised, dark-glazed central disc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Condition: Good vintage\/secondhand condition — please see photos for glaze crazing, light surface staining near the center, or firing marks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Quantity: Single piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Dimensions: approx.  (L) 15cm x (H) 3.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsuchi Ceramic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59942561874304,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/6037\/7984\/files\/2B5CD813-B3A8-4803-A819-D5460EDD6EA0.jpg?v=1790020687","url":"https:\/\/tsuchi-ceramic.com\/products\/onta-yaki-shallow-plate-wavy-brushwork-rim-ash-cream-glaze-wide-unglazed-footring","provider":"Tsuchi Ceramic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
