Gentle moments that bring a smile
The simple and adorable three-dimensional animal figures and patterns, with their rounded shapes, evoke a sense of tenderness. Holding them in your hands brings a comforting warmth that melts your heart. The soft, hazy patterns combined with the warmth of the clay create a gentle atmosphere, as if you are gazing at a peaceful landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted using techniques such as slab construction, 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 three-dimensional objects are all unique, each possessing its own quiet individuality.
The calm ivory and dark brown earth tones create a subdued color palette that embodies the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table softens the atmosphere, creating a peaceful space even on a busy day. These pieces are sure to calm your mind, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cakes and baked goods. These moments, watched over by the gentle patterns and figures, are sure to make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. These vessels gently bring a quiet happiness that makes you unconsciously smile.
Each piece is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns/designs. Also, some pieces may have differences in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect use. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will 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 pieces have been sealed, 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. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melaminesponge. |
