Blooming side dish plate 01
Arrives in 4 to 12 business days Duties and taxes included.
Insoil began in a Seoul house in 2016 and now works from a small studio in Yeonhui, west of the city. The studio designs from the quiet satisfactions of an ordinary day, often framing the work as questions: what it might feel like to drink the moon, what it would be to start a morning with a quiet vessel shaped from nature.
This is the smallest plate in the Blooming line, drawn as three leaves. The form comes from the moment a flower opens rather than the bloom itself, so the rim is not a plain circle but three soft leaf-lobes that rise and meet at low points, opening outward from the center. The dish is shallow and round, roughly 145mm across. Its semi-matte white glaze is scattered with brown iron-oxide dots that surface during the 1,250°C firing, set differently on every piece.
Sized for a side of side dishes, a slice of cake, or the fruit at the end of a meal, it reads equally as an appetizer or dessert plate. Both clay and glaze are tested cadmium- and lead-free by KICET, the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology. Microwave and dishwasher safe, though the semi-matte glaze can scratch against metal — wooden cutlery keeps the surface clean.
Each piece is hand-formed and hand-glazed, so minor variation is part of the work: pinholes from gas escaping during firing, occasional glaze drip lines, glazing-tong marks, and differences in dot pattern, sheen, and texture between pieces.
