Hat and Dress Set Bear & Apple | Ryoko Kimura

These utterly adorable vessels, shaped like tiny shoes, hats, sweaters, and dresses, make you feel like you're picking out clothes for a paper doll, making your heart flutter with the question, "Which one should I choose?" Their palm-sized forms are like peeking into a miniature world. The soft texture of the clay adds a comforting warmth to their delicate charm, gently melting your heart just by looking at them.

What is valued in craftsmanship is the very straightforward desire to create with joy. Such feelings and excitement from the creator give the vessels a warm, free-spirited, and gentle expression.

The works are born little by little, as if carefully cherishing the small, cute things one encounters in daily life – those subtle "thrills." The soft crimson color gently emerging on the fired clay adds a tender expression, creating a touch of endearing charm within the rustic simplicity.

Whether you place your favorite small snacks on them or gently rest your cherished accessories, these vessels bring quiet joy to the landscape of your life during such small moments. Every time you catch sight of them, your heart will be gently tickled, and such small moments of happiness will likely increase in your daily life.

Since each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, and subtle differences or placement of patterns and designs. In addition, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their use. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. You cannot choose which item you receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.
