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 piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so 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Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.

Haseen

In 1832, a kiln was opened in Marubashira, Iga City, Mie Prefecture. Ever since we opened our kiln, we have inherited the tradition and techniques of Iga ware, and have created numerous earthenware pots and folk utensils that make use of Iga's coarse clay. Based on the spirit of ``The creator must be the true user,'' while experiencing the lifestyle that evolves with civilization. We are always dedicated to manufacturing products that keep an eye on the times.

Iga ware

Iga ware is a type of ceramic made around Iga City, Mie Prefecture. The soil used is produced from the Old Biwa Lake layer and has a very high fire resistance. Because it is also excellent at storing heat, it is widely used in the production of earthenware pots and heat-resistant tableware. Earthenware pots made from Iga clay, which has a high heat retention capacity, do not cool down easily even after being removed from the heat, allowing the ingredients to cook thoroughly, resulting in delicious dishes.
