Ssian Purple | Flat Plate
$95.04
The Ssian Purple Flat Plate is dishwasher-safe lacquer glassware crafted by Japanese lacquer artisan Yoshihiko Fujii, available in three sizes from a compact side plate to a large serving plate.
Key Features
- Colour-shifting Ssian purple pigment: a special powder is melted into lacquer and layered from the back of the glass, producing a deep, mysterious purple colour.
- Dishwasher safe: practical for everyday use.
- Three sizes: S, M, and L for versatile serving needs.
Ideal Uses
The S size suits appetisers and desserts, M works for mains, and L is ideal as a centrepiece serving plate.
Yoshihiko Fujii is a Japanese lacquer (urushi) artisan who reinterprets traditional maki-e and gold-leaf techniques for contemporary Western-style tableware. Each piece is hand-finished in Japan, layering lacquer and metallic leaf over a glass or resin base to create colour and shimmer that shift with the angle of light.
