Delicate beauty and cuteness

The slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, possesses breathtaking beauty. The gentle and soft texture of the washi-dyed ducklings soothes the hearts of those who behold them, and the vibrant and adorable painted designs bring happiness. These pieces, crafted by a single artist, weave a diverse array of stories that seem beyond the work of one person.

Ayano Arai's Pot Duck Green

As the saying goes, "pottery is a material that grows with use." These pieces deepen in character and subtly change their appearance with daily use. They are vessels that gently brighten your life, accompanying you and aging gracefully alongside your everyday experiences.

Ayano Arai's Pot Duck Green
The colors bleeding through the washi paper gently blend into the clay, creating a warm and soft appearance. Just looking at the expressions of the subtly breathing grasses and flowers is enough to soothe the heart.

With calm colors and a modern, graceful appearance, these pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia while offering new discoveries each time you look at them. Simply placing them on your everyday table will naturally relax your mind and bring calm, happy 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, etc. Additionally, some items may have 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 specific 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.

Ayano Arai's Recommended Care and Precautions
〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend performing "medome" (sealing) before first use.
〇 For pieces with gold accents, avoid using the microwave. Also, be careful as scrubbing too hard may cause the gold to peel.
〇 We recommend using a neutral dish detergent and a soft sponge, without abrasive cleaners. After washing, dry thoroughly before storing.

 

 Understanding "Vessels"
〇 As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, there may be variations in color and shade.
〇 Since each design is hand-painted, the expressions may vary.
〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, black dots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, 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 different depending on your computer or smartphone display.
〇 We deliver products that have passed not only the inspection of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, but also our own 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 preferences. We ask for your understanding and acceptance before making a purchase.
〇 We hope you enjoy the unique "flavor" and "charm" that handmade items offer, which cannot be found in mass-produced factory goods!
