Strong Color Shade Variations
Each piece has strong 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.
Strong Color Irregularities
There are strong 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 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.
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.
Do Not Microwave
Not Oven Safe
Dishwasher Safe
As for the products without the "Not Dishwasher Safe" stickers, please make sure to use them keeping the below matters in mind.
※If tableware items collide each other in the dishwasher, they will get broken.
※Most ceramic items absorb water. Even if the surface looks dry, there may still be some water in the tableware, which may cause your tableware to get moldy or smelly. So, please take it out of the dishwasher immediately after use, and dry thoroughly in a place where it can be exposed to the outside air.

3種類のサイズがあるSOBOKAIの商品『テーラ』
7寸、8寸サイズはメインプレートや敷き皿として。
4寸サイズは取り皿やソーサーなどで活躍します。
イタリア語でキャンバスという意味の「テーラ」。
絵を描くように料理を盛り付けてほしいとの思いが込められています。
2色展開で、
黒土に白化粧を施して釉薬をかけた白と
光の当たり方によって虹色に輝く虹彩釉の黒があります。
ベースの形はチェルキオなのですが、
角の丸み具合やサイズ感はどれくらいが良いか、
何度も検討をして形にしていきました。
角は使用中の欠けにくさも考慮し、丸みを帯びた形になっています。
四角形状でもっとも苦労したのは盛り面のフラットさです。
どんな形であれ大きなプレートは盛り面を平らにするのが大変なのですが、
四角い形状は円形よりも難しいのです。
テーラは圧力をかけて土を型に流し入れる圧力成形で作られています。
土が入る穴から近い場所ほど圧がよくかかり、土が締まります。
反対に穴から遠いほど圧力も弱くなり、プレートがゆがむ原因になることも。
テーラはその穴が2か所あり、型屋、窯屋の長年の経験から
フラットにするためにはこの場所につけようか、と穴の位置にもこだわっています。
その甲斐あって
25cmの大きさにもかかわらずフラットな仕上がりになっています!
裏にはキャンバスに筆でサインしたかのような
伸びやかな筆記体のロゴがデザインされていますよ。
和にも洋にもかっこよく使えるテーラ。
ぜひキャンバスに描くように
自由な発想でお楽しみください!
