Octagonal Small Plate, Bird, by Toshiyuki Haramura

A comfortable harmony of sophistication and warmth

Despite being porcelain, it has a soft appearance like pottery, a gentle milky white color, and a moist texture that fits comfortably in the hand. The clean form breathes warmth unique to handmade items, creating a comfort that naturally draws you to pick it up every day.

"I want to make everyday tableware that people can use casually." With this in mind, the artist meticulously considers ease of use, comfort in the hand, and even the feel on the lips. The "washi-zome" technique, where patterns drawn on washi paper are transferred to the ceramic body, creates gently blurred expressions, and 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. Theかすれ (fading) and にじみ (bleeding) become part of the scenery, and you can't help but smile when your eyes meet theirs. This subtle playfulness brings gentleness and comfort to everyday life.

Whether it's for serving morning toast, enjoying freshly brewed coffee, or arranging your favorite snacks, the casual everyday dining table transforms into a slightly richer and more uplifting time. The more you use it, the deeper your affection will grow, and before you know it, it will become an indispensable part of your life.

Due to being handmade one by one, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, weight, fading or bleeding of patterns, and slight distortions. Also, depending on the application of the glaze, the firing color, pinholes, iron spots (black dots), etc., will vary in appearance.Please enjoy these unique expressions that are characteristic of handmade items.We cannot select which item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival.
