Color Shade Variations
Each piece has individual color shade variations. Affected by glazes and natural firing conditions such as changes in temperature, humidity and other climate elements and also how to receive the fire in the kiln chamber, each piece has own expression. It is really difficult to make the completed ware exactly same in color by firing and glazing even when the same materials are used. 100 pieces show 100 kinds of expressions, as it were.
Color Irregularities
There are color irregularities of applying a glaze or slip, which are different from part to part in a piece of ware. For example, some parts are glazed thinly or thickly depending on the shape of the ware. That leads to part-to-part subtle differences in appearance of the clay in a piece of ware.
Glaze or Slip Drips
The glaze or slip may look like dripping. There is unevenness of a glaze or slip when they are applied to ware by hand. There also appear glaze drips or slip drips, which are caused by the glaze or slip flows during firing.
Rough Clay
The surface may be rough due to the use of rough or coarse clay.
Pinholes
Pinholes may be seen clearly on the surface. Pottery (earthenware) is mainly made from earth, and green ware contains a lot of air while biscuit firing. While glazed firing, this air inside the biscuit ware becomes air bubbles, which remain and look like small holes on the surface of the glazed part. Those small holes are called pinholes.
Crazing (Chaps)
Crazing (having chaps) may appear clearly on the glazed part. The “direct” crazing means having chaps originally. The “aging” crazing means having chaps over time as you use the tableware item. There is a difference between the shrinkage rate of the glaze and that of the clay, so crazing occurs. Note that those cracks do not come from the damage of tableware items. They might appear just before use, but it is no problem in terms of use. They appear on the surface of pottery (earthenware) and semi-porcelain.
Iron in Powder
Iron in powder may be seen clearly on the surface. Pottery (earthenware) is made from earth, which contains iron. After firing green ware, iron appears on the surface in the form of black dots. Red or black earthen clay contains much more iron, and as a result, not a little iron in powder may appear on the surface of tableware items made from this type of clay.
Light Pink Marks
Light pink marks may appear on the surface of tableware items. They appear when a component of the base clay becomes oxidized and then develops a color while fired. Interestingly, each tableware item has the “one of a kind” pattern of light pink marks because they appear depending on a variety of mixed conditions such as components of the base clay, glazes and firing settings, etc. You can enjoy the unique distinctiveness that adds to your own tableware item.
Warping
Warping in shape may be clearly seen. Ceramic ware is made out of clay, so even after formed, green ware is relatively soft and wobbly. Therefore, when it is made dry, it is affected by natural conditions such as temperature and humidity, so each piece may look different in size and shape and perhaps warping in shape may appear.
Microwave Safe
A microwave oven heats or cooks food very quickly using short electromagnetic waves, namely, microwaves. In most cases, the microwaves heat the water content of the food. However, in some cases, the microwaves concentrate on the carbonized (burnt) parts of the food, causing the temperature to rise higher than the other parts. For example, the microwaves concentrated on the carbonized (burnt) parts of stir-fried vegetables can create a large temperature difference in /on the tableware item, which may cause breakage. In addition to water content, oil content is also heated. The oil has a higher boiling point than the water, so it heats up at a higher temperature, creating a very large temperature difference between the parts that contain oil and the parts that do not, which can cause breakage.
・Never soak hot tableware in water or place it on the cold kitchen counter. Avoid rapidly heating frozen foods or putting [the cold tableware just taken out of the refrigerator] in the microwave. A rapid change in temperature will lead to “crazing” (chaps) or breakage.
※The products with gold or silver paintings, or applied with particular glazes are not microwave safe. We put a “Do Not Microwave” sticker on those items, so please confirm it.
※Accessories etc., made of other materials are excluded from microwave safe items.

料理上手で器にこだわりを持つ友人夫妻へ贈る器を探していた時に、頭に思い浮かんだフォルクローレ。
家にお呼ばれした時、食卓には民芸の器を中心に
渋めのお皿にお料理が美味しそうに盛り付けられていました。
友人夫妻は、器をじっくり吟味して購入するので贈る器には気を使います。
和洋問わずお料理が映えて、
すでに持っている器と調和するような趣のある器。
これは、「民芸、民間伝承」という意味を持つフォルクローレしかない!
と思っていた矢先に友人夫妻がお店を訪ねて来てくれました。
そして、わたしがおすすめする前に、
友人はフォルクローレ6寸鉢の黒柿釉を手にしていたのです。
その日の晩に、購入してくれたフォルクローレの写真がインスタグラムにアップされていたので、
見てみると6寸鉢に盛られた角煮の美味しそうなこと。
この鉢は、釉薬の下の顔料の濃い部分がオレンジっぽく変化するので
単調な黒ではなく表情のある黒でお肉がとても映えるのです。
下に向かってすぼまった形をしているので横からみるシルエットも美しく、
お料理も綺麗に盛りつけられます。
また、撥水加工が施されているので、
お料理の色やにおいが付きにくく普段使いにも丁度良い。
フォルクローレシリーズは、
鉢の他に平皿と猪口があり3色展開で色によってだいぶ雰囲気が変わります。
お酒を飲みながら食事をするふたりだから食卓には多くの品数が並ぶので、
すでに持っている6寸鉢とも組み合わせて使えるように、
わたしからはフォルクローレ8寸皿の錆かいらぎをプレゼントすることにしました。
リムが広くシャープな形状の平皿は、洋風な雰囲気もあるので、
夏はズッキーニの上にパンチェッタとチーズをのせてグリルしたものや
トマトとモッツァレラのサラダなんかを合わせたらお酒がすすみそう。
二人でシェアするおつまみのプレートにしても良いし、銘々でパスタ皿にしても良い。
余白を広めに残して中心に盛りつければ、上品な雰囲気になるので記念日にも活躍してくれそうです。
お酒が好きな夫妻だし、今年の誕生日にはフォルクローレの猪口をプレゼントしようかな。
せっかくだから、全アイテム全色制覇で色は藍染付を。
小鉢やソース入れにも良いけど、キリッとした冷酒がふたりには似合う。
濃淡のある藍色が涼しげで夏生まれにはぴったりかもしれない。
気になった方はこちら
