Small chrysanthemum bowl, dyed fuchisabi grass, Koyo kiln, porcelain, Arita ware

Traditional arts in modern life

A small bowl with a gorgeous chrysanthemum motif. The slight shading of color that is visible due to the unevenness of the shinogi gives expression to the pottery. The vibrantly blooming chrysanthemum flowers are carefully painted one by one using a traditional technique called ``sometsuke''. One of the charms of Arita ware is its transparent, slightly bluish white color and smooth texture.

For side dishes and fruits

The perfect size when you want to add a little something. Just add a few regular dishes or leftovers to turn it into a great side dish! Because it is deep, it can be used for dishes with a lot of juice, such as boiled dishes and dipping dishes. They can also be stacked, so it's a good idea to have multiple copies for your family or guests.

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 number of years of use, small scratches from forks and knives may become noticeable. ・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 piece is hand-painted by a craftsman, the shading of each pattern may vary. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since 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Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
