Mini Oroshi Dish - Aigosthena

€18.00
Limited Availability

Hand-carved stoneware grating dish

Inspired by Japanese Oroshi grating dishes, typically used to grate or purée anything from garlic and ginger, to wasabi and daikon.

These little dishes are designed to give you space to grate small amounts of the vegetable of your choice. You can then either add your purée to your cooking pot or add condiments and sauces of your choice into the dish to create your very own dipping sauce.

Individually made by hand on my pottery wheel and then hand carved, each piece has its own unique character and variations. No two are the same.

  • My ceramics are individually handcrafted from high quality stoneware clays, locally sourced within Europe. The natural raw materials I use to create my glazes are also sourced from local and/or European suppliers.

    This means that although my clays and materials have to travel to get to me, they mainly go by land or sea, substantially lowering their carbon footprint.

    As far as possible, I choose suppliers who prioritise sustainability and human rights in their supply chains, particularly for raw materials with complex footprints (e.g. cobalt).

  • Vitrification:

    I fire all my stoneware ceramics to vitrification (depending on the type of clay, this means the pots go up to a top temperature of approx. 1285°C in the kiln during the glaze firing).

    During the process of vitrification, the raw materials in the clay melt and fuse together, forming an almost glass-like ceramic with very low porosity and high durability.

    This ensures that your ceramics will be as strong as possible and should last for many years to come.

    Glazes:

    All my glazes are carefully developed in-house and made from scratch in my pottery studio. Through meticulous application of glaze chemistry, I am able to ensure that my glazes are durable and food-safe, as well as, of course, being lead-free.

  • Your plate is dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is, of course, more gentle as dishwashers inevitably make micro scratches on the surfaces of any glassware and ceramics. But your plate is tough and durable - so it really isn’t necessary to hand wash it unless you would like to.

    Your piece is also microwave safe. The only thing to be aware of is thermal shock - for example, taking a very hot plate and placing it directly on a cold surface may cause either the bowl or the surface to crack. However, your pot is strong and should be able to withstand most normal day-to-day use without any “babying”.
