The sharp silhouette from the edge to the height is impressive. By applying white mud to the base, adding color, and
then applying glaze, it creates a unique texture with a subtle gray tinge. The black spots that appear and disappear
here and there are charming. The texture makes it easy to match with other pottery, making it fun to think about table
coordination. The warm and gentle white is not overpowering and will blend gently into your daily dining table.
At lunchtime, why not try fried rice or Chinese rice bowl topped with gooey bean paste? You can also stack them, so
it's a good idea to have one for your family and for guests. This is an excellent item that can be used in a variety
of situations in everyday life.
There are some cracks and lines as shown in the photo, but these are one of the characteristics of pottery.
Also, there may be some areas on the back that are not glazed. Differences in color, uneven color, and sagging that
occur by chance during firing and hand-molding are the unique charms of handmade products. Because kohiki is
water-absorbent and tends to leave stains, we recommend that you seal(MEDOME) it before use. Most water stains
disappear when dry, but if used without sealing, oil stains and stains from dark colors such as soy sauce and coffee
tend to remain. One of the charms of pottery(earthware) is that they tend to change with daily use. Please enjoy the
expressions at that time and make it your own.
