An Adorable Expression
A bear with a blank expression, mouth agape. Its seemingly wanting-to-say-something look is so endearing that simply gazing at it brings warmth and comfort.
An Ancient Essence
Mikiko Kato loves animals from ancient Oriental and Jomon periods, as well as ornamented creatures. She finds charm in their inscrutable expressions and the unintentional humor in their creation. These pieces exude an ineffable cuteness, as if ancient and modern essences are intertwined.
Joyful Just by Looking
Ms. Kato says she loves to observe the various movements and expressions of bears at bear ranches. This strong curiosity may be what gives birth to such indescribably charming expressions.
Make Your Dining Table Fun and Cute
This bear-shaped plate with a cute, dreamy bear expression is perfect for any occasion. Use it as a morning plate for toast, ham and eggs, and salad, or enjoy snack time with chiffon cake or mille-feuille. It's sure to uplift your mood and make any moment special.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns. 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. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us before shipping and we can email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Mikiko Kato |
| 〇 The pieces have been pre-sealed, so they are ready for immediate use. 〇 The powder-glazed pottery has a three-layer structure of body, slip, and glaze, making it prone to chipping. Please be careful not to bump the rim when handling. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇 Due to being handmade, each item will have individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color unevenness 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 spots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions. 〇 While we strive to process images to show colors as close to the actual product as possible, the colors and textures may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver products that have passed not only the inspections of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are sample shots, so the item you receive will not be identical in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand and acknowledge this before purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods lack! |
