Delicate beauty and cuteness
The breathtaking beauty of slipware with its delicate yet bold compositions, the gentle comfort of washi-dyed ducklings with their faint, soft textures, and the vibrant, adorable painted patterns that bring joy—all these diverse stories seem to emerge from a single creator.
As the saying goes, "utensils are materials that grow with use." They deepen in character and subtly change expression with daily use. These vessels gently accompany your daily life, adding soft color as if accumulating time together.
The slipware is created swiftly without any preliminary sketches. Because there is only a brief moment before the glaze dries, the free-flowing floral patterns exude a sense of freedom and lightness, as if a breeze is passing through.
With its calming colors and modern, graceful appearance, it evokes a sense of nostalgia while offering new discoveries each time you look at it. Simply placing it on your daily dining table naturally soothes your mind and brings calm, happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbling, patterns, etc. Additionally, some items may show variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. While you cannot choose which specific item you receive, we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you separate photos. Feel free to reach out.

| Ayano Arai's Recommended Care and Precautions |
| 〇To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend sealing before use. 〇For works with gold accents, please avoid using the microwave. Also, be careful as strong washing may cause the gold to peel. 〇We recommend using a neutral kitchen detergent and a soft sponge for washing, without abrasive cleaners. After washing, please dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇Due to being handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be color variations and gradations. 〇Each painting is also hand-drawn, so expressions may differ. 〇Depending on the product and manufacturing process, small holes, small black dots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions may be present. 〇While we process images as much as possible to match the actual colors, the colors and textures 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 final inspection. 〇Product photos are samples, so the actual item you receive will not be identical in every detail. 〇We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand and agree to this before purchasing. 〇We hope you will enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which cannot be found in mass-produced factory goods! |
