Delicate beauty and cuteness
The breathtaking beauty of slipware with its delicate yet bold compositions is astonishing. The soft, gentle textures of the washi-dyed ducklings gently soothe the hearts of those who behold them, and the vibrant, adorable painted designs bring happiness. It's almost unbelievable that such a diverse range of stories could emerge from a single creator.
As the saying goes, "Pottery is a material that grows with use," and indeed, with continued use in daily life, it deepens in character and gradually changes its expression. These vessels gently accompany your daily life, adding soft colors to it as if aging together.
These adorable ducklings with painted eyebrows and rosy cheeks are so captivating. Their slightly playful demeanor is incredibly endearing, and just looking at them seems to gently warm your heart.
With calming colors and a modern, graceful presence. While exuding a sense of nostalgia, they bring new discoveries with every glance. Simply placing them on your everyday table naturally eases your mind, bringing calm and happiness.
As each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbling, patterns, etc. Additionally, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their use. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. You cannot choose which item you receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you separate photos.

| Recommended care instructions and precautions from Ayano Arai |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend sealing the pores before initial use. 〇 For items with gold decoration, please refrain from using a microwave oven. Also, be careful not to scrub too hard, as this may cause the gold to peel off. 〇 We recommend washing with a neutral kitchen detergent and a soft sponge, without using abrasive cleaners. After washing, dry thoroughly before storing. |

〇 Due to being handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there may be color unevenness and variations in shade. 〇 As each painting is hand-drawn, the expressions may differ. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, small black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, or distortions. 〇 While we make every effort to process product images to be as close to the actual colors as possible, the colors and textures may appear differently depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone. 〇 We deliver products that have passed not only the inspections of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are sample shots, so the item you receive will not be identical in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and acknowledge this before purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which cannot be found in mass-produced factory goods! |
