Without deliberate symmetry or a clear pattern, it nonetheless records the marks of being gently tapped at the time.

To ensure their longevity, please keep the following in mind: . Do not use directly over flame. Not suitable for ovens or microwaves. . We recommend soaking the vessel thoroughly in water before use and wiping it dry with a cloth before serving food. This helps prevent absorption of sauces and oils. . Please wash and dry the vessel promptly after use. . We suggest using a soft sponge and a neutral detergent for cleaning. . If using a dishwasher or dish dryer, please place the vessel securely to prevent it from colliding with other items due to vibrations during operation. . Fine cracks may appear on the surface after use. This is known as glaze crackle or 'kai-pian,' a normal variation in the glaze. . For first-time use, prepare a pot of rice water. Line the bottom of the pot with a paper towel, place the vessel in the pot, and submerge it completely. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, then let it cool. The starch from the rice will fill the pores on the pottery surface, preventing future stains and odors. This process can be repeated periodically for maintenance.

We love to summarize the end of our day with a satisfying meal, served in a beautiful vessel, followed by a cup of tea, or a warming pot of sake on a cold evening. Over time, these vessels add a touch of charm to our lives, becoming cherished companions. Observing the vessels we used in daily life sparked the idea: "Why don't we try making pottery ourselves?" The pottery we aim to create retains its simple, earthy aesthetic. With a comfortable weight that feels warm in the hands, our pieces reflect a lifestyle. We cherish the familiar teapot stained with tea marks, the white teacups developing cracks filled with tea color from repeated use, the off-white shallow plates paired with vibrant green stir-fried vegetables, the matte black bowls that make rice appear more lustrous, and the mountain-shaped bowls perfectly portioned for desserts. Come find the perfect vessel here—a companion for your daily life, meant to last for years to come.
