A gentle time that brings a smile to your face
Simple and charming animal figures and patterns. Their rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and holding them brings a comforting warmth that soothes the heart. The vaguely soft textures of the patterns and the warmth of the clay intertwine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if gazing upon a serene landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted one by one using techniques such as slab building, molding, and hand-pinching. The soft contours retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels like the warmth of the clay. The gently drawn patterns and figures, encircling the piece, are each unique, none exactly alike, each possessing its own quiet individuality.
The tranquil ivory and dark brown earth tones are calm hues that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table softens the atmosphere and creates 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 cakes and baked goods. Moments spent in the company of gentle patterns and figures are sure to make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. Before you know it, a smile will naturally appear on your face—this is a vessel that quietly delivers such tranquil happiness.
As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Also, some pieces may show variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their use. Please enjoy them as unique expressions 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 contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

〇Since the products have been pre-treated, there is no need to boil them in rice water, but due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if hot water is poured in. Stains that are difficult to remove with mild detergent may be removed with a melaminesponge. |
