Octagonal plate S bear | Toshiyuki Haramura

A pleasing harmony of sophistication and warmth

Despite being porcelain, it boasts a soft, ceramic-like appearance and a gentle, milky white color, with a smooth texture that fits comfortably in the hand. Within its clean form, there's a warmth that only handmade items possess, offering a comfort that makes you instinctively reach for it every day.

"Every day, a casual dish that can be used freely." With this sentiment in mind, the pieces are carefully crafted, considering usability, ease of holding, and even the feel on the lips. The "washi-zome" (Japanese paper dyeing) technique, where patterns drawn on washi paper are transferred to the base, creates gently blurred expressions, while the depth of the russet glaze on the rim adds a quiet flavor to the simple design.

The adorable animals look as if they're about to start chatting. The blurring and smudging become part of the scenery, making you involuntarily meet their gaze and smile. This subtle playfulness brings gentleness and comfort to everyday life.

Whether it's for morning toast, freshly brewed coffee, or your favorite snacks. Your ordinary daily dining table will transform into a slightly richer, more cheerful time. The more you use it, the deeper your attachment will grow, and before you know it, it will become an indispensable part of your life.

As each piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight,かすれやにじみ (fading and bleeding of patterns), and slight distortions. Also, depending on how the glaze is applied, the fired color, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots) will vary in appearance. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please contact us before shipping, and we can email you separate photos.
