Handmade Crystalline Glaze Ceramic Plates
Only 12 items left in stock.
A handmade round ceramic plate with a galaxy-inspired crystalline glaze, available in soft pink or blue-green. Fired at high temperature, the glaze develops delicate crystal blooms and tiny star-like speckles across the surface, creating a quiet sense of depth, light, and movement.
Each plate is shaped and glazed by hand, with subtle variations in color, crystal pattern, texture, and finish. No two pieces are exactly alike, making every plate one of a kind.
Artist
Artist
Mika Matsuba is a Japanese ceramic artist whose work explores quiet vessel forms, natural surfaces, and the memory of fire.
Each plate is hand-glazed and kiln-fired in small batches, allowing the glaze to move naturally across the surface. Soft speckling, gentle color shifts, and delicate crystal blooms create a surface that feels alive — like light slowly spreading across a night sky.
Inspired by the quiet beauty of the starry sky, this ceramic plate carries a luminous glaze that melts from warm amber into soft violet, scattered with tiny star-like speckles across the surface. The finish feels calm, airy, and one of a kind — made for slow meals, quiet moments, and a sense of wonder at home.

Crafting Hours: Approx. 45 Hours
1. Forming — 1 hours
Each platter is slab-built by hand. The clay is rolled, impressed with texture, shaped into its oval form, then carefully trimmed and refined before drying.
2. Bisque Firing & Cooling — 18 hours
Once dry, the piece is fired for the first time at a lower temperature. After cooling, the surface is further sanded and refined.
3. Glazing — 1 hour
The bisque-fired body is glazed by hand, allowing the surface color and crystalline texture to develop during the final firing.
4. High-Temperature Firing & Slow Cooling — 24 hours
The glazed piece is loaded into the kiln for high-temperature firing, followed by a slow cooling process to stabilize the ceramic body and glaze surface.
5. Final Selection — 1 hour
Each piece is inspected by hand, and any damaged or imperfect pieces are removed before the final selection.

I bought this as a decorative plate for my dining table, and it looks so special. The colors are subtle but still eye-catching, very unique.

This plate is even prettier in person. The glaze has this soft galaxy-like look, and the little speckles catch the light beautifully. It feels handmade in the best way.

The crystalline glaze is gorgeous. I love that the pattern doesn’t look printed or perfect; it has a natural, handmade feel that makes the piece feel one of a kind.

I was looking for a ceramic piece that felt simple but not boring, and this is exactly that. The glaze has so much depth, and it makes even a small table setting feel special.

Such a beautiful plate. The pink and purple tones shift a little depending on the light, almost like a tiny night sky. It’s delicate without feeling too precious.
A quiet dialogue between silver and clay.
