Koyo Kiln Mug Sherbet Gray | Arita Ware

A Japanese-style tableware that you want to use every day

A cafe mug with an easy-to-handle shape. Sherbet gray with a very gentle atmosphere. It’s hard to come up with a name that tickles your fancy! The color of the base, which peeks out slightly at the edge, gives the pottery its expression. The handle is wide and feels very stable. Its gentle texture makes you feel comfortable when you hold it with both hands, and it will make you feel soft and at ease.

A Japanese-style tableware that you want to use every day

First, have a cup of freshly brewed coffee. A sweet hot chocolate would also go well with the gentle atmosphere. Float whipped cream on milk cocoa or make tea with lemon. I'm also happy that it's a good size and has a good depth.

Recommended maintenance by the potter	・Avoid using overglazed products in the dishwasher. Hand wash 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 number of years of use, small scratches from forks and knives may become noticeable (especially since olive glaze is soft). ・Crystals may or may not appear in sherbet gray due to the characteristics of the glaze. ・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 are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. 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, thickness, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Because the glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven color. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇As shown in the photo, there may be some unevenness in the glaze. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.

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 vessels. We value traditional Arita techniques and aim to create pottery that fits modern lifestyles and that both creators and users 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.

Arita ware

Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many vessels that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.
