Delicate Beauty and Cuteness
The slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, possesses breathtaking beauty, while the softly textured washi-dyed ducklings gently soothe the hearts of those who behold them, and the richly colored, lovely paintings bring a sense of happiness. It's hard to believe that such a diverse range of stories could emerge from a single creator.
As the saying goes, "vessels are materials that grow with use," they deepen in character and subtly change their appearance with continued daily use. These vessels gently accompany your everyday life, adding a soft touch of color as you age together.
The ducklings, with their eyebrows and rosy cheeks, have adorable and cute expressions that immediately capture your gaze. Their slightly whimsical atmosphere is irresistibly charming, and the more you look at them, the more they warm your heart.
With their calm color palette and modern, graceful presence, they evoke a sense of nostalgia while offering new discoveries with each viewing. Simply placing them on your daily dining table naturally eases your mind, bringing calm and happiness to your moments.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone inclusions, slight wobbling, patterns, and designs. Additionally, some items may show variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their use. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will be happy to email you additional photos.

| Ayano Arai's Recommended Care Instructions and Precautions |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting enjoyment, we recommend seasoning the vessel before use. 〇 For works with gold plating, please avoid using a microwave. Also, be careful not to scrub too hard, as the gold may peel off. 〇 We recommend using a mild dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge, without abrasive cleaners. After washing, please dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Vessels" |
|
〇 As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. In addition, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be color unevenness and variations in shade. 〇 Since each painting is hand-drawn, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the product and manufacturing process, small holes, small black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions may be observed. 〇 While we strive to process product images to be as close to the actual color as possible, the color and texture may appear differently depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspection 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 will enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which are not found in mass-produced factory goods! |
