A gentle time, bringing smiles
Simple and lovely three-dimensional animal figures and patterns. Their rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and when you hold them, you feel a warmth that soothes your heart. The vaguely soft textures of the patterns and the warmth of the clay combine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you are gazing at a peaceful landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped using techniques such as slab building, molding, and hand-pinching. The soft contours retain the marks of handcraftsmanship, and the texture feels like the warmth of the earth. The gently drawn patterns and three-dimensional figures are all unique, each possessing a quiet individuality.
The tranquil ivory and dark brown earth tones are calming colors that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table softens the atmosphere and creates a peaceful space even during a busy day. They are sure to soothe your mind, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cakes and baked goods. Spending time surrounded by gentle patterns and three-dimensional objects is sure to make your usual moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. These vessels quietly deliver a peaceful happiness that will make you smile without even realizing it.
Each piece is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Also, there may be differences in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these unique expressions of handcrafted items. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping and we will email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Maruban Ceramics Factory |
|
〇Although the pieces have been sealed and do not require boiling in rice water, crazing may occur if hot water is poured into them due to the nature of the glaze. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melaminesponge. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇Because each piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color and shade. |
