Appearance with a strong presence

A deep pot with a dynamic arabesque pattern. The pattern stands out against the soft colors of the base, giving it a powerful yet calm atmosphere. The deep lapis lazuli color is said to represent the color of the Ryukyu sea. The body has a shinogi pattern, and the uneven texture fits comfortably in your hand. Although it is made of porcelain, it has a clay-like texture and has a warm feel to it.

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, thickness, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Because the glaze is applied by hand, it may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇This includes some items whose patterns are not clearly visible. 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.
