A gentle time that brings a smile to your face
Simple and charming animal figures and patterns. Their rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and when you hold them, you feel a warmth that relaxes your heart. The soft, blurry textures of the patterns and the warmth of the clay combine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a serene landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped using techniques such as slab building, molding, and hand-pinching. The soft outlines retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels like the warmth of the earth. The gently drawn patterns and figures, too, are each unique, possessing their own quiet individuality.
The calming earthy colors of gentle ivory and dark brown evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply arranging them on the dining table softens the atmosphere, creating a quiet moment of space in a busy day. They are likely to calm your mind, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cake or baked goods. Time spent surrounded by gentle patterns and figures will surely make your everyday moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. These are vessels that bring a quiet happiness, making you smile without even realizing it.
Due to being handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, patterns, etc. Also, there may be differences in the application of glaze, crazing, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usage. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping and we will email you additional photos.

〇The glaze has been pre-treated, so there is no need to boil it in rice water. However, due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if hot water is poured into it. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melaminesponge. |
