Description
The Ember Tall Plate carries the quiet warmth of fire remembered. Its form rises gently from a grounded base, lifting the surface like a horizon caught between earth and air. In the soft curve of red fading to charcoal, there is both stillness and movement, a quiet echo of flame turning to ash.
Placed at the centre of a table or standing alone beneath morning light, it draws presence without demand. The plate holds fruit, dessert, or nothing at all with equal grace, an object that invites pause, that asks the eye to slow and the hand to rest.
Made from high fired porcelain, its balance of height and breadth creates an impression of weightless stability. Each piece feels deliberate, measured, silent, enduring, a vessel not just for food, but for the calm rhythm of everyday ritual.
* Main Size: Ø215x60H mm | Volumn: 250mm | Weight: 735g
* Grand Size: Ø270x70H mm | Volumn: 350mm | Weight: 1350g

* Each Horizon Plate is handmade using the ancient yaobian glazing technique, where fire and minerals create natural variations in tone and texture. No two pieces, even from the same kiln, are ever identical. This individuality is the charm of the craft; those who prefer uniform colour may wish to consider this before ordering.

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.
