Made in Japan by hand — this is the quality behind this piece. The material is chosen for its properties, the form shaped for the function, and the finish given the care that Japan ese craft consistently delivers. Kouichi Maekawa works in Shiga, Japan, making each piece by hand at a pace that allows every object to receive full attention. The craft tradition behind this work is regional and long-established — a way of making that the area has sustained for generations. 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.
