Delicate beauty and cuteness
The breathtaking beauty of slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, is truly stunning. The soft, gentle textures of washi-dyed ducklings will soothe the hearts of those who see them, and their colorful and adorable painted designs evoke a sense of happiness. It's almost unbelievable that such a diverse range of stories could come from a single creator.
Just as the saying goes, "Pottery is a material that grows with use," these pieces deepen in character and subtly change their expression with continued use in daily life. These vessels gently accompany your everyday life, adding a soft touch of color to your days as you share time together.
The slipware is drawn in a single stroke without any preliminary sketching. Because there is only a brief moment before the glaze dries, the free-flowing floral patterns have a certain lightness, as if a breeze is passing through them.
With calming colors and a modern, graceful presence, these pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia while offering new discoveries with every glance. Simply placing them on your everyday table will naturally bring a sense of ease, ushering in peaceful and happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, small chips, slight wobbling, and patterns. 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 unique characteristics as part of their handmade charm. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

| Ayano Arai's Recommended Care and Precautions |
| 〇To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend sealing before first use. 〇For items with gold accents, please avoid using the microwave. Also, be careful not to scrub vigorously, as this may cause the gold to peel. 〇We recommend washing with a mild kitchen detergent and a soft sponge, without using abrasive cleaners. After washing, please dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Utsuwa" (Pottery) |
|
〇Because each item is handmade, there may 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Each design is hand-painted, so expressions may differ. 〇Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, slight wobbling, or distortions. 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At our store, in addition to inspections by the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, we deliver items that have passed our final inspection. 〇Product photos are samples, so the actual item you receive may not be identical in every detail. 〇We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and agree to this before making a purchase. 〇We hope you will enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" unique to handmade items, which are not found in mass-produced factory goods! |
