- “Zebra Drift” Nerikomi Trinket Dish

This small trinket plate is crafted using the Japanese Nerikomi technique, where layers of differently pigmented clays are combined and sliced to reveal patterns that run through the full thickness of the slab. For this piece, white, grey, and light blue clays are mixed and arranged to create a striking zebra‑inspired marbling — a pattern that is inherent to the clay itself, not applied on the surface.

The slab is shaped into a softly curved plate with gently lifted corners, giving it a sculptural, functional form. The glossy finish enhances the flowing lines and subtle color shifts within the patterned clay. Perfect for holding jewelry, keys, or small personal items, it also stands beautifully on its own as a decorative accent.
