Hat and Dress Set Carrot | Ryoko Kimura

These endearing vessels, shaped like tiny shoes, hats, sweaters, and dresses, are utterly charming. Just like choosing clothes for a paper doll, your heart flutters as you decide "which one to pick." Their palm-sized forms seem to offer a glimpse into a miniature world. The soft texture of the clay adds a comforting warmth to their delicate appearance, gently melting your heart just by looking at them.

What is cherished in the creative process is the simple desire to create with joy. This feeling and excitement of the creator make the vessels' expressions somehow warm, expansive, and gentle.

The works are born little by little, as tiny, lovely things encountered in daily life softly tuck away a small "sparkle" in one's heart. The soft crimson hue that gently floats on the fired clay adds a gentle expression, creating a subtle charm within their rustic simplicity.

Whether it's for serving a beloved small snack or gently resting your favorite accessories, these vessels bring a quiet joy to the landscape of daily life during such small moments. Every time they catch your eye, a little bit of your heart will be tickled, and such small moments of happiness are sure to increase in your daily life.

As each item is handmade, there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, and subtle variations and placement of patterns and designs. Additionally, some items may show differences in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot accommodate requests for specific pieces, but we hope you will look forward to receiving your item.
