Delicate Beauty and Cuteness
The slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, possesses breathtaking beauty, while the gently nuanced, soft-textured washi-dyed ducklings gently soothe the hearts of those who behold them. The richly colored and adorable painted designs bring happiness. These pieces weave a diverse tapestry of stories, almost as if they couldn't have originated from a single artist.
As the saying goes, "pottery matures with use," these vessels deepen in character and subtly change their expression through daily use. They are pieces that gently adorn your life, quietly accompanying you as you age together.
The ducklings, with their eyebrows and rosy cheeks, have such an endearing and cute expression that you can't help but stare. Their slightly playful demeanor is irresistibly charming, and gazing at them seems to gently warm your heart.
With their calming colors and modern, graceful appearance, they evoke a sense of nostalgia while offering new discoveries each time you look at them. Simply placing them on your daily dining table will naturally calm your mind and bring tranquil, happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, iron spots, slight wobbling, patterns, etc. Additionally, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron specks (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos upon request.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Ayano Arai |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend performing *medome* (sealing) before first use. 〇 For pieces with gold accents, please avoid using a microwave. Also, be careful as scrubbing too hard may cause the gold to peel off. 〇 We recommend using a soft sponge and neutral dish soap for cleaning, without abrasive cleaners. After washing, dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Pottery" |
|
〇 As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Even with the same glaze and clay, there may be variations in color and shade. 〇 Since each design is hand-painted, expressions may vary. 〇 Due to the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, black spots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions. 〇 While we process images to bring out the colors as close to the real item as possible, the actual color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspections of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist but also our own final inspection. 〇 Product photos are samples, 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" that are unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods do not possess! |
