Description
The Ember Plate rests low and steady, like the quiet after flame. Its surface moves from deep charcoal to a smouldering red, a gradient that recalls the final glow of embers beneath ash. Both grounding and expressive, it brings a quiet intensity to the table, a centrepiece for shared dishes or solitary meals alike.
Balanced in proportion and form, it elevates the ordinary moment into something contemplative. Within its calm, there remains a trace of warmth, the memory of fire, stilled yet alive.

* Each Horizon Plate is handmade using the ancient yaobian glazing technique, where fire and minerals create natural variations in tone and texture.

maintenance
Caring for what you own is part of the experience.
Each cleaning, each gentle touch, is a quiet act of continuation.
- Dishwasher & microwave safe; gentle cycles are best.
- Avoid metal utensils or rough sponges on the surface.
- After use, rinse and dry softly to preserve the glaze’s depth.
- For light stains, soak briefly with baking soda and warm water.
Inspiration
Objects are not trophies. They are the quiet witnesses to how you live.
In Sichuan’s highlands, the air carries a weight of stillness. Mountains don’t rise suddenly here, they unfold, one behind another, until distance turns them into haze. Somewhere between the soil’s warmth and the mist’s coolness, the horizon becomes more than a line; it becomes a state of mind.
The Horizon Plate was born from that silence. Its shape echoes the slow curve of the land, where earth softens into air, where time feels suspended. This is not a story about ancient dynasties or lost traditions, it’s about the quiet rhythm of nature that has never needed to change.
The Artisan Behind
Nestled in Sichuan’s highlands, Chen Shujun has spent over four decades firing ceramics in a centuries old dragon kiln. Guided by instinct, not instruments, his work embraces time, fire, and imperfection. Each piece carries the quiet strength of a life shaped by the land.
