Japanese craftsmanship applied to a daily object: the attention that goes into large pieces goes into this one too, and the result is something that holds up through years of regul ar use. Kouichi Maekawa is based in Shiga, Japan. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish — the form shaped, the surface finished, and the whole object considered as something built to be used rather than displayed. Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about handmade objects, and a piece like this brings that tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Shiga, Japan Artisan: Kouichi Maekawa Size: 8.5 × 6 × 3.5 cm (3.3 × 2.4 × 1.4 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and finish are the mark of a true handmade object.
