A small tile plate with smiling face, hand-carved on porcelain slabs with signature surname monogram on the reverse. Suitable for a bar of soap or a resting place for your kitchen utensils. On the backside is a signature surname monogram やなぎた, embossed with a rolling stamp. 

Made in Los Angeles by artist Ray Yanagita. Yanagita's work is influenced by high and low commodities: images, prose, poems, quotes, are strewn on hand built works transforming the clay into sculptural canvases. Glaze palettes are a mix of traditional glazes from East Asian Diaspora palettes (Celadons, Shinos, Red Iron Oxide, Copper, Manganese, Cobalt Washes) and are always food safe.
