Couldn't load pickup availability
The dining table has a different atmosphere than usual
This oval plate has a beautiful luster and is slim and clean. 
A deep olive green with a mossy, nostalgic feel. The color becomes deeper where the glaze pools form, and on the other hand, the edges are a little lighter. The shading of the glaze gives expression to the pottery.
For side menus and desserts Sprinkle cherry tomatoes and arugula over the white fish and drizzle with oil. Carpaccio is also beautiful. The slightly slender oval shape creates a different atmosphere than usual. It's also good to put a soba choko or small mug on top and add chocolate or baked sweets! Even if you leave some blank space and place the cake on it, it will look great.

| Recommended maintenance by the pottery | ・For overpainted products, avoid using the dishwasher and wash them by hand with a soft cloth or sponge. Doing so may cause red, gold, or silver paint to peel off or darken. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・Since the painting and glazing work is done by hand, there may be slight differences in the pattern, color shading, glaze color, and application method. ・Since the soil contains a lot of iron, there may be small light brown or black dots on the surface of the pot, but this does not cause any problem in use. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Since it does not absorb water, it is difficult to get stains, mold, etc., and is easy to handle. ・Depending on the age of use, small scratches from forks and knives may become noticeable (especially since olive glaze is soft). ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 
〇The soil contains a lot of iron, and small light brown or black dots may appear on the surface. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Koyo Kiln
1947 Started a kiln in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture
Mainly produces sake items, and later produces general tableware.
2003: Changed the name of the kiln to Koyo Kiln. Currently 3rd generation (Yosuke Maeda)
We manufacture a wide range of household tableware with simple and soft forms, from indigo-dyed to red-painted and glazed items. We value traditional Arita techniques and aim to create pottery that is compatible with modern life and that both the maker and the user can relate to. ``I want the younger generation to use Arita ware as well.'' Arita ware, which used to be used for special occasions, can now be used on a daily basis. This idea is reflected in the price range and design.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on.
