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.
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.
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.
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.

Jupiter 125bowl Image
The article featuring the Jupiter 125bowl
荒々しい土の表情が素朴で味わいのあるシリーズ、
「ジュピター」に新しい形状が加わります。
220ディーププレート、165ディーププレート、125ボウルの3サイズです。
野菜や肉そのもの美味しさ、フォルムや色の美しさ、
革新的な調理方法で、和洋中にこだわらない目にも美しいアートのようなプレートを作るレストランが増えています。
そんなレストランで使ってもらえるようなシリーズとして考えました。
フラットな面があって垂直に立ち上がるシンプルで直線的なフォルムをシリーズ全体で意識しています。
モダンさやシンプルさを感じやすく、盛り付けの可能性も広がること、
またその方が土の荒々しい素朴な魅力も伝わると思います。
125ボウルはアイスやスープ、ポタージュなどを盛り付けるイメージです。
220や165も高さのある深皿は、ソースやペーストをふんだんにかけたり、
浸けたりして食べる料理や高さのある盛り付けでも安定感、安心感のある仕上がりになります。
家庭でもしっかり立ち上がりのあるプレートはカレーやあんかけもの、
シチューなど使用用途が広がると思います。
ジュピターシリーズの一番の魅力は土です。
山から採取した土を多少調整するものの、ほぼそのままの土を使用しています。
そのため自然の状態に近いものが土の中に入っていて、
たくさんの有機物、小石が大小混じり凸凹とした質感が現れたり。
鉄分を多く含んでおり施釉すると焦げ感や鉄粉となって力強い表情が浮き上がります。
また、土を採取する場所によっても赤土の濃淡や土の状態が変わり、
焼きあがる器にも偶然生まれる様々な表情は自分たちを取り巻く自然や大地のような大きな存在を
感じずにはいられないとても力強くて自然味あふれるシリーズです。
そんな器たちを大地と見立てて、旬の野菜を畑にあるかのように散りばめたサラダや、
カラフルなエディブルフラワーを散らしたり。
自分だけの感覚で盛り映えする料理や相性の良いメニューをぜひ見つけてください。
