A gentle time that brings a smile to your face
Simple and lovely animal figures and patterns. Their rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and holding them in your hand brings a comforting warmth that melts your heart. The soft, hazy texture of the patterns and the warmth of the clay intertwine, creating a gentle atmosphere, as if you are gazing at a peaceful landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted using techniques such as slab building, molds, and hand-pinching. The soft contours retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels as if you can sense the temperature 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 tones are calming colors that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply arranging them on your dining table subtly softens the atmosphere, creating a peaceful space even 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. Spending time accompanied by the gentle patterns and three-dimensional figures is sure to make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. These dishes quietly deliver such tranquil happiness that you'll find yourself smiling without even realizing it.
Each piece is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbles, 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 them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot select which item you will 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.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Maruban Ceramics Factory |
|
〇The pieces have been pre-treated, so there is no need to boil them in rice water, but due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if boiling water is poured into them. For stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent, a melamine sponge may be effective. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, color unevenness and shading will occur. |
