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, there's a warmth that soothes your heart. The soft, hazy patterns blend with the warmth of the clay, creating a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a serene landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped one by one using techniques such as slab construction, molds, and hand-pinching. The soft outlines retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels like the warmth of the clay. The gently drawn patterns and three-dimensional figures are all unique, each possessing its own quiet individuality.
The tranquil ivory and dark brown earth colors are calming tones that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table gently softens the atmosphere, creating a quiet space in your busy day. They seem to calm your mind, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cake or baked goods. The time spent surrounded by gentle patterns and three-dimensional figures will surely make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. You might just find yourself smiling naturally. These vessels subtly bring such serene happiness.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Additionally, there may be variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. You cannot choose which item you receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

〇The products have been sealed, so there is no need to boil them in rice water, etc. However, due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if boiling water is poured into them. For stubborn stains that cannot be removed with neutral detergent, a melamine sponge may help. |
