Large octagonal plate, bear design | Toshiyuki Haramura

A delightful harmony of sophistication and warmth

Despite being porcelain, it has a soft, almost earthenware-like appearance and a gentle, milky white color, with a moist texture that fits comfortably in your hand. Within its clean form, there is a warmth unique to handcrafted items, providing a comfortable feel that naturally makes you reach for it every day.

"Everyday tableware that can be used casually every day." With this sentiment in mind, the pieces are carefully crafted with thorough consideration given to usability, ease of holding, and even the feel against the lips. The "washi dyeing" technique, where patterns drawn on Japanese paper are transferred to the base, creates gently blurred expressions, while the depth of the rust glaze applied to the rim adds a quiet charm to the simplicity.

The adorable animals look like they're about to start chattering. Fading and blurring become part of the scenery, making you smile when your eyes meet. This subtle playfulness brings gentleness and comfort to everyday life.

Whether it's for toast in the morning, enjoying freshly brewed coffee, or displaying your favorite sweets, your everyday dining table will transform into a slightly richer, more uplifting experience. As you use it, your affection for it will deepen, and before you know it, it will become an indispensable part of your life.

Due to the handmade nature of each item, there will be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight, fading or blurring of patterns, and slight distortions. In addition, depending on the glaze application, the firing color, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots) will vary.Please enjoy these unique expressions that are characteristic of handmade items.We cannot choose which item you receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival.
