Chopstick Rest Pumps Carrot | Ryoko Kimura

These utterly adorable vessels, shaped like tiny shoes, hats, sweaters, and dresses, make your heart pound with excitement, much like choosing clothes for a dress-up doll. Their palm-sized forms are like peeking into a miniature world. The soft texture of the clay adds a comforting warmth to their prettiness, and just gazing at them gently soothes your soul.

What is cherished in the creative process is the honest desire to enjoy making things. This feeling and excitement from the maker imbue the vessels with a warm, expansive, and gentle character.

Works are gradually born from those small, cute things one encounters in daily life, quietly treasuring such fleeting "excitement" in one's heart. The soft crimson blush that gently floats on the fired clay also adds a delicate expression, creating a subtle charm within its simplicity.

Whether it's for placing your favorite small sweets or gently resting your cherished accessories, these vessels bring a quiet joy to the landscape of daily life during such small moments. Every time you catch a glimpse of them, your heart will be tickled just a little, and such small moments of happiness are sure to increase in your daily life.

Each item is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, and the subtle differences and arrangement 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 usability. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we can email you separate photos.
