"Shiboride" specifically describes a decorative effect on Annan pottery, where the indigo dye is intentionally blurred or scattered after the initial application. While "shibori" is widely known as a traditional Japanese manual resist dyeing technique for fabric (similar to tie-dye), "shiboride" specifically describes the aesthetic pattern created by this "squeezing" or "blotting" effect in ceramics.
Its elongated oval silhouette offers both elegance and practicality—perfect for presenting roasted vegetables, grilled fish, pastries, or centrepiece dishes meant to be shared. Charming yet understated, this plate brings a touch of retro serenity to your table, making every meal feel beautifully arranged and thoughtfully served.
