Small octagonal plate, bear design | Toshiyuki Haramura

A pleasing harmony of sophistication and warmth

Despite being porcelain, this piece has the soft appearance of earthenware and a gentle, milky white color, with a moist texture that fits comfortably in your hand. Within its clean form, the warmth of handcrafted work lives on, offering a comfort that naturally draws you to reach for it every day.

"Everyday tableware that can be used casually." With this sentiment in mind, the pieces are carefully crafted, considering ease of use, comfort in hand, and even the feel on the lips. The "washi dyeing" technique, where patterns drawn on Japanese paper are transferred to the base, creates a gently blurred effect, and the depth of the rust glaze applied to the rim adds a quiet charm to the simplicity.

The adorable animals look as if they're about to start chattering. Theかすれ (fading) and滲み (bleeding) become part of the scenery, making you smile when your eyes meet. This subtle playfulness brings gentleness and comfort to everyday life.

Place your morning toast on it, enjoy freshly brewed coffee, or arrange your favorite snacks. Your ordinary daily dining table will transform into a slightly richer, slightly more uplifting time. The more you use it, the more attached you'll become, and before you know it, it will become an indispensable part of your life.

Each item is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight, fading and bleeding of the pattern, and subtle distortions. Also, depending on the application of the glaze, the firing color, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots) will vary in appearance.Please enjoy the unique expressions that are characteristic of handmade items.While you cannot choose which item you receive, we hope you look forward to its arrival.
