A gentle time, bringing smiles

Simple and adorable animal figurines and patterns. The rounded shapes feel gentle, and holding them brings a comforting warmth that soothes the heart. The vaguely soft textures of the patterns combined with the warmth of the clay create a gentle atmosphere, as if gazing at a peaceful landscape.

Each piece is carefully shaped by hand using techniques such as slab building, molds, and hand-pinching. The soft contours retain the marks of handcraftsmanship, and the texture conveys the warmth of the clay. The gently drawn patterns and three-dimensional elements 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 arranging them on the table subtly softens the atmosphere, creating a quiet space even in a busy day. They seem to calm the mind, making you want to take a deep breath.

Each piece is handmade, so there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Also, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee 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 instructions and precautions from Maruban Ceramics Factory

The products have been sealed, so there's 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 mild detergent may come off with a melamine sponge.
〇Dishwashers can be used, but handwashing is recommended as strong water currents or abrasives may scratch the surface and reduce the protective effect.

〇When using a microwave, please use it with food that should not be heated empty.
〇Only items with a heat-resistant marking (Maruban Heat-Resistant) on the back can be used over direct flame or in the oven.
〇Crazing and spots may appear with use, but we hope you will enjoy your pottery for a long time, including these changes!


 Understanding "Vessels"

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, there will be variations in color and shade.
〇Since each piece is hand-painted, the expressions may vary.
〇Depending on the product and manufacturing process, small holes, small black dots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions may be observed.
〇While we strive to process images to display colors as close to the actual product as possible, colors and textures may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone.
〇We deliver items that have passed not only the manufacturer's and kiln's inspections but also our final inspection.
〇Product photos are sample shots, so the item you receive will not be identical in every detail.
〇We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and acknowledge this before making a purchase.
〇We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods do not possess!
