Delicate Beauty and Cuteness
The slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, possesses breathtaking beauty, while the gentle, soft-textured washi-dyed ducklings soothe the hearts of those who behold them, and the richly colored and adorable paintings bring a sense of happiness. It's almost as if they couldn't have been created by a single artist, telling such a diverse array of stories.
Just as the saying goes, "pottery is a material that grows with use," these vessels deepen in character and subtly change their appearance with continued daily use. They are vessels that gently color your life, softly accompanying your daily routine and aging with you.
With a calm color palette and a modern, graceful appearance, these pieces evoke a certain nostalgia while offering new discoveries every time you look at them. Simply placing them on your everyday table will naturally ease your mind and bring calm, happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there may 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 usability. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. While you cannot choose which item you receive, we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you have concerns, please contact us before shipping, and we will gladly email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care Instructions and Precautions from Ayano Arai |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend seasoning before first use. 〇 For pieces with gold accents, please avoid using a microwave. Also, be careful not to scrub too hard, as the gold may come off. 〇 We recommend washing with a mild kitchen detergent and a soft sponge, without using 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 will be variations in color and shade. 〇 Each piece is hand-painted, so the expressions may differ. 〇 Due to the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, small black spots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, slight wobbling, or distortions. 〇 While we make every effort to process product images to be as close to the actual color as possible, the color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver only items that have passed not only the inspection of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist but also our 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 and not found in mass-produced factory goods! |
