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 differences] 
Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze 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Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Seto ware
Seto ware is a general term for pottery made mainly in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, which is a rare production area in Japan where both pottery and porcelain are fired.
Ceramics are characterized by decorations that make full use of glaze, as exemplified by the country's traditional craft ``Akatsu ware,'' while porcelain is decorated with beautiful blue colors using a pigment called Gosu, typified by ``Seto Sometsuke ware.'' It's a feature. There is such a wide variety of pottery that it is said that ``There is nothing that cannot be made in Seto.''
