Gentle moments that bring a smile
These charming, rustic animal figures and patterns, with their gentle, rounded shapes, offer a warmth that soothes the heart when held. The subtly soft textures of the patterns combined with the earthy warmth of the clay create a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing upon a tranquil landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped using techniques such as slab building, molding, and hand-pinching. The soft outlines retain the marks of handwork, and the texture evokes the warmth of the earth. The gently drawn patterns and figures are unique, each possessing a quiet individuality.
The calm ivory and dark brown earth tones create a serene palette that evokes the warmth of the soil. Simply placing them on your dining table can gently soften the atmosphere, creating a quiet 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 cakes or baked goods. Spending time surrounded by these gentle patterns and figures is sure to make your everyday moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. Before you know it, you'll find yourself smiling naturally—these vessels quietly bring such peaceful happiness.
As each piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Additionally, some items may show differences in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these unique characteristics as part of the handmade charm. You cannot choose which item you receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us, and we can email you additional photos before shipping.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Maruban Ceramics Factory |
|
〇While a sealing treatment has been applied, so there is no need to boil it in rice water, crazing may occur if boiling water is poured into it due to the nature of the glaze. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melamine sponge. |
