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.
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.

マルタ島から広がったイメージ
「マルタ」とは地中海の中心に浮かぶ島、マルタ島のこと。
昔から貿易の拠点ともなり中世の遺跡が数多く点在する、
石で築かれた素朴で美しい街並みや島ならではの長閑な時間が流れています。
そんな島にあるホテルのブランチを設定して器のイメージを膨らませました。
また、マルタ島にはたくさんの猫が暮らしています。
その昔古代人が猫には魔除けの力があると島に猫をもたらしたと言われています。
そのエピソードからHOTEL DE LA MALTAのマスコットとして猫の紋章風のレリーフがリムに付いています。
280プレートと230プレートはリムと盛り面の段差を控えめにして、
フラットな印象のプレートにしました。
リムを強く感じさせず、盛り付けが多少はみ出ても気になりにくいです。
一方でリムがあることで自然な余白が生まれます。
130プレートは、リムのない少し深さのある形状。
ソースやディップ、スパイスや薬味など、小回りのきくアイテムです。
オーバルの形状はアーモンドのような少しシャープなものにしました。
丸みのあるオーバルに比べて少し細身ですっきりとした印象が品のある形状です。
カップは口径が大きく寸胴型で安定感のあるフォルム。
コーヒー、紅茶、だけでなく、クラムチャウダーやポタージュなどスープにもおすすめです。
高台のないフラットな底面は赤土の素地が現れ、凹文字のロゴと合わせて素朴な表情をしています。
口元にかけて少し薄作りになっているところにも上品さを感じます。
赤土の質感と釉薬
釉薬が薄くなるリムや装飾部分に素地が透けて見え、
シンプルなフォルムにアクセントをつけています。
白釉を施したブランは爽やかで清潔感もありながら赤土の素朴さを感じます。
緑釉のオリーブはこっくりとした風合い、紋章風のレリーフもあることで年月を重ねてきたような重厚感があります。
オリーブは特に透明度のある釉薬を使用しており、釉の濃淡や焼成具合で商品ごとに見え方が変わります。
ブティックボウル
シリーズの中にテイストの違う2サイズのボウルがあります。
素材は磁器で発色の良い色の釉薬が施されています。
盛り面にはHOTEL DE LA MALTA の紋章が入っており、
スーベニアボウルのような感覚で作りました。
同じシリーズでテーブルコーディネートをした時にも動きやアクセントが生まれます。
インパクトのある装飾とカラーで、ブランチのテーブルが楽しくなればと思います。
浅めの170ボウルはサラダボウル、フルーツボウルとして、130ボウルはオリーブやナッツなどのアぺタイザー用として。
家族や友人たちとゆったり食事や会話を楽しむ。
そんな穏やかな時間を日常に取り入れて、ぜひブランチのひとときを楽しんでみて。
