Nerikomi: neither painted nor printed

Porcelain piece made with the “nerikomi” technique, in other words neriage, mixed earths. The colors are in the mass, it is neither painted nor printed.
The patterns, the color gradation and the lines that you can see on this piece are the result of assembling small pieces of porcelain previously tinted by Yuko, herself. As the colors pass through the material, you see the same image on the front and the back.
All of these nerikomi pieces are considered "Table Art", but they are also utility dish! Amazing ?! ^ _ ^ They are no dirtier than your porcelain pieces; you can wash them normally, they even go in the dishwasher.
Please note that this is a small series, no two pieces are identical, in terms of shape and details. (There may be slight differences between two pieces. However, when it comes to a significant difference, these pieces are presented under the same title as A, B, C ... ^ _ ^)

An explanation card of the technique and a maintenance manual are provided.
