A Convenient size
Ideal for serving two portions of dishes such as nikujaga (simmered meat and potatoes) or chunky chikuzenni.
Its depth also makes it well suited for dishes with plenty of broth, including marinated horse mackerel or deep-fried vegetables served in sauce. The soft, neutral coloring coordinates easily with other tableware, making it a versatile choice for everyday meals.

Things to Know Before Purchasing
The unique character of each piece of pottery is created by features not found in mass-produced items, such as spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations. The charm of handmade pottery lies in the fact that each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and that no two pieces are exactly alike, with pinholes, crazing, and distortion. These are also the unique characteristics of handmade pottery, so enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter. [Individual Differences] 
Each piece has a different color, with some being yellowish and others being grayish. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] 
Since the glaze is carefully applied by hand, the glaze may not be evenly applied, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the firing area of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other Notes] 
〇Some pieces may have noticeable crazing (cracks), but this is a characteristic of pottery. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the potter or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers.
