Lily of the valley brings happiness
The lily of the valley flower has the meaning of the return of happiness and purity. Looking at the pure and lovely lily of the valley painted with cobalt blue will make you feel happy.
Beautiful contrast between white and indigo
Blue and white porcelain is made by drawing a design on a white base using a pigment called gosu, which is mainly made of cobalt oxide, and then coating it with a glassy pigment and firing it, which turns the design blue. The beautiful white and blue colors are captivating.
The warmth of hand-drawn art
The lily of the valley is depicted expressively using only the indigo blue of the gosu blue, making use of the different shades of light and dark. It is drawn freehand, so you can feel the warmth of the gentle lines that can only be achieved through handwork. In addition, the Icchin decoration beautifully brings out the delicateness of the lily of the valley.
Gentle on the palate
The thin cup has a smooth texture and allows you to enjoy the taste and aroma of coffee and tea. The cup is also very light, weighing only 110g. The striped saucer, with its soft and gentle lines, can be used to hold cakes and sweets, so you can enjoy a luxurious time when you invite friends over for a chat or spend your time at home in style.
Since each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in the pattern, color, shade, shape, size, weight, uneven glaze, etc. Also, depending on the condition of the glaze and the characteristics of the clay, each piece has a different appearance, such as the degree of firing color, crazing, pinholes, iron powder (black spots), etc. Please rest assured that this does not affect the use of the product. We hope you will enjoy the unique flavor and individuality of handmade products. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to receiving it. If you are interested, please contact us before shipping and we will email you a photo separately.

| Recommended maintenance methods and precautions from Shingama |
|
* Blue and white items with cobalt pigment (gosu paint) can be used in both microwaves and dishwashers, but items with red paint can be used in the microwave but not in the dishwasher. *For products other than tableware (such as vases or ornaments), please refrain from using electronic devices such as microwaves or dishwashers. *Please avoid sudden temperature changes such as rapid heating or cooling as this may cause cracks or damage. |
| Understanding of "Utsuwa" |
|
*Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, weight, etc. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be uneven color and shading. *Each piece is hand painted, so the expression may vary. Depending on the product, small holes, small black spots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, rattling, and distortions may be found due to the manufacturing process. *We process the product images to make them as close to the actual colors as possible, but the colors and textures may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone. *In addition to inspection by the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, we only deliver products that have passed final inspection at our store. *The product photos are sample shots, so the items you receive will not be identical in every detail. * We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand and agree before making a purchase. We hope you enjoy the unique "flavor" and "interestingness" that can only come from something handmade, not mass-produced in a factory! |
