Relaxing and sunny

Original vessels created by ceramic artist Morishita Shingo. The lid was created by woodworker Yasushi Shimizu to fit the container. With this combination, a new "lidded container" was created. This time we would like to introduce "Yururi Haru Sora". This katakuchi-style vessel has a deep green glaze that gives it a calm, subdued atmosphere. The pentagonal base is also an accent. When you open the lid, the outside is a brighter green than the outside. The lid is made of light, clear-grained zelkova wood to match the shape of the vessel, and is finished with a streamlined knob. The lid also has a stepped shape to give it a sense of movement. It has a calm atmosphere, but is a very striking piece. As a vessel, as an object... So how do you use this? ■Material: Container/Ceramics Lid: Zelkova, walnut ■Size: Width approx. 275mm, depth approx. 270mm, height approx. 215mm About the vessels ・The vessels are made using porous clay and various glazes, and are finished with an emphasis on texture and not preventing the vessel from breathing. Flower vases and other items that will be used while storing water for long periods of time are treated with an anti-bleeding agent, but the effect is not perfect and there are variations between pieces (due to differences in clay and glaze), so water may start to seep in little by little after a few days of storing water. Please be careful when placing the vessels in places that are vulnerable to water (we recommend taking measures such as using a tray). ・Please dry the dishes thoroughly after use. If they are not dried properly, it may cause mold to grow and may also adversely affect the strength of the ceramic. About the lid ・The lid is made of solid wood and finished with a ceramic paint. It is resistant to moisture, but not perfect, and may stain if left unattended. If moisture gets on it, wipe it off as soon as possible. ・Avoid using a dishwasher or microwave, or drying in direct sunlight, as this may cause the product to crack or warp. -The lid is not airtight, so it is not suitable for storing items that dislike moisture.
