Free Cup K: Bird, by Toshiyuki Haramura

A delightful harmony of sophistication and warmth

Porcelain with a soft, earthenware-like texture and a gentle, milk-white color, combined with a moist, comfortable feel in the hand. Despite its sleek form, it exudes the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, making it a joy to reach for every day.

"Everyday, easy-to-use tableware." With this in mind, the pieces are carefully crafted, considering usability, ease of holding, and even the feel on the lips. The gentle, bleeding patterns created by the "washi dyeing" technique, which transfers designs drawn on washi paper to the raw clay, and the deep rusty glaze on the rim, add a quiet charm to the simple design.

The adorable animals look as if they're about to start chatting. The blurs and bleeding become part of the scene, making you smile when your eyes meet. This subtle playfulness brings gentleness and comfort to everyday life.

Serve toast in the morning, enjoy freshly brewed coffee, or arrange your favorite sweets. Everyday meals can become a little richer, a little more exciting. The more you use them, the more attached you'll become, and before you know it, they'll be indispensable to your life.

As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight,かすれ (fading/blurring) and にじみ (bleeding) of the pattern, and subtle distortions. Also, depending on the application of the glaze, the firing color, pinholes, iron spots (black dots), and other characteristics will vary. Please enjoy these unique expressions as characteristics of handmade items. You cannot choose which item you receive, but 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.
