Sasak. Dinner Plate
The SASAK. collection is made in a pottery village on the west coast of Lombok, Indonesia. The vessels are made completely by hand with only very basic tools. The potters use a local clay that is mixed with black sand. To fire the pottery, it is skilfully stacked on the ground outside and then covered with dried coconut husks, wood and rice straw which is set alight. The firing is short, taking only a couple of hours.
The women in the village are the makers and the traditions have been passed down from mother to daughters for hundreds of years. The men help with the firing process. The unique red colour is achieved by spraying a homemade dye made from tamarind seeds onto the pots when they are taken out of the hot kiln.
These plates are made from pure Earth, organic, chemical free and unglazed.
Due to plates porous nature, we have sealed them with Liquid Quartz TM, a food safe natural coating to protect them from absorbing moisture.
