Things you should know before purchasing What creates the expression of pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 The size and color shading of each pottery differs from piece to piece. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇There may be areas where the glaze is not applied or linear marks created during the creation process. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Ceramics are characterized by decorations that make full use of glaze, as exemplified by the country's traditional craft "Akatsu ware," while porcelain is decorated with beautiful blue colors using a pigment called Gosu, typified by "Seto Sometsuke ware." It's a feature. There is such a wide variety of pottery that it is said that "There is nothing that cannot be made in Seto." Photo from the artist Many items are baked at once.
