Made of porcelain and clay, these plates are finished with a matte glaze. Due to the naturally porous finish IYAMA plates can develop small cracks on the surface. To slow this effect, soak plates in water for up to one hour before use. Matte glazes can naturally show metal cutlery marks on the surface when used.
