Karatsu Ware Platter

Japanese pronunciation: からつやきのおおざら (karatsuyakinooozara)

CategoryBlock

A platter for up to four okazu. A single iron-drawn branch on a grey-white glaze, with patches where the glaze turned brown in the kiln.

Obtaining

Usage

Fired with the iron pigment and the ash glaze

Both the iron pigment and the ash glaze go into the kiln beside the platter body. Which of the two slots each one takes makes no difference.

Plating together

The platter does not turn dishes into something else. Set fried cod beside fried potatoes and that is your fish and chips.

In the real world

E-Karatsu is painted on the body with an iron-bearing pigment, then covered with a feldspar glaze containing wood ash and fired. The iron drawing emerges brown beneath the pale glaze.

Differences in game

Satoyama offers neither a brush pattern nor regional clay and glaze recipes; adding the iron pigment and ash glaze always gives one branch.
