The Diamond Selection

Frosted Wave

A pale, ice-blue glaze pooled at the centre of each piece and left to break outward into dark, feathered veins as it fires, the way frost spreads across glass. The rest of the piece stays a clean porcelain white, so the blue reads as weather moving across it rather than a fixed pattern.

The glaze

Ice blue, feathering into frost

Porcelain white · frost · ice blue · deep blue · vein black

A blue glaze rich in cobalt and iron is poured at the centre or rim of each piece, over a plain white glaze base. As it fires, the cobalt runs outward and separates into fine dark veins, feathering into the surrounding white the way frost spreads across a cold window.

No two pieces feather the same way twice, and the shape of the break follows the piece — spreading down from the mouth of a cup, radiating from the well of a bowl, running along one edge of a tray. The white porcelain body stays untouched everywhere the glaze doesn't reach, keeping the range legible even where the pattern is dense.

On the plate

Plating Frosted Wave

What it flatters

Cold and raw preparations — sashimi, tartare, ceviche. The blue reads as a temperature cue as much as a colour, so it suits anything served chilled.

Contrast that works

Warm pink and orange proteins, herb greens. The white ground never competes, so garnish colour carries the whole plate.

Building a table

Reads clean and cool. Strong on pale wood and white linen, and photographs best in daylight, where the blue reads truest.

In service

Two dishes on Frosted Wave

Short enough to hand to a section chef.

Seared tuna tataki with avocado and radish on a Frosted Wave rectangular tray

On the rectangular tray

Seared Tuna Tataki, Avocado & Radish

Serves 2 · 20 minutes

250g sashimi-grade tuna loin · 1 avocado, diced · radish, shaved · shiso leaves · toasted sesame seeds · yuzu ponzu · a few drops of pomegranate molasses

  1. Sear the tuna loin hard on all sides, keeping the centre raw, then chill briefly.
  2. Slice into even medallions and arrange them in a line along the tray.
  3. Scatter diced avocado and shaved radish between the slices.
  4. Drizzle yuzu ponzu over each piece.
  5. Finish with sesame seeds, shiso leaves and a few drops of pomegranate molasses for colour.

A line of tuna down the tray's length follows the ice-blue vein exactly, so the pink fish and the frosted glaze trace the same shape.

Seared scallop and maguro nigiri duo on a Frosted Wave rectangular plate

On the rectangular plate

Seared Scallop & Maguro Nigiri Duo

Serves 1 · 15 minutes

1 large scallop, seared · 40g maguro tuna, sliced · 2 portions sushi rice · a shiso or nori leaf · pickled ginger · wasabi · salmon roe, optional

  1. Shape the seasoned rice into two small ovals.
  2. Sear the scallop hard on one side only, keeping the centre translucent.
  3. Drape the tuna over one rice oval and the seared scallop over the other.
  4. Set both pieces on a single shiso or nori leaf on the plate.
  5. Finish with pickled ginger, a touch of wasabi, and roe if using.

Pink tuna and pale scallop sit quietly against the ice-blue vein, and the dark stripe running through the glaze frames the pair without a garnish needed.
