Blooming side dish plates, set of three
Blooming side dish plates, set of three
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.
The set brings together all three side dish plates in the Blooming line, one of each form. Each is a shallow round dish, between 145 and 153mm across, shaped at the moment a flower opens rather than the bloom itself: 01 rises into three soft leaf-lobes; 02 opens into broader, fuller petals; 03 gathers into a dense ring of fine flutes, like a chrysanthemum. All three carry the semi-matte white glaze scattered with brown iron-oxide dots that surface during the 1,250°C firing, set differently on every piece.
Each plate is sized for a side of side dishes, a slice of cake, or the fruit at the end of a meal, reading equally as an appetizer or dessert plate; together they set three small dishes for a table, or layer one place setting. 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.
