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.

醤油、薬味、おかずにお菓子。思わず集めてしまう、手作りの豆皿。
梅、紅葉、松、兎、亀。5種類の古くから親しまれている形の豆皿。
素材の質感の渋さと、凹凸で表現されたモチーフの可愛らしさが調和した、愛着がわくうつわです。
豆皿はあると何かと便利な器。醤油、薬味、おかず、お菓子と何かをちょこっとのせるのにぴったり。食事のときにも、おやつの時間にも使いやすい。置き場所に困らなくて、値段もお手頃。ついつい集めてしまいます。
【企画のこだわり1】小さくても手間暇かけて作っています。
型に彫り込まれた細かな凹凸に土が隙間なく入り込むよう、丁寧に陶土を押し付ける。
中央には忘れずに「m’」のマークを。
そして形が崩れないようそっと取り外して整える。
この豆皿は「たたら成型」という板状にした土を使って形を作る方法で、一点一点丁寧に作り上げています。
職人の手作業で生まれる器には工業製品のような均一さはなく、それぞれが違う表情で温かみがあります。
職人の手跡が残るうつわの素朴さや温かみをぜひご堪能下さい。
【企画のこだわり2】和菓子のような繊細なレリーフ
スタジオエムらしくて、もともとの土や釉薬の持つ良さを生かせるデザイン。
素材自体の力強さとたたら成型の良さを活かしたいと考えていて、目に留まったのは和三盆や落雁の型。古典的なモチーフを抽象化し、凹凸だけで表現する意匠を参考にしました。
縁から覗く荒土の質感と地の黒色。そして上にかかった釉薬の濃淡。
モチーフの凹凸がより強調され、味わい深くなっています。
5種類揃えて、気分で選ぶ。セットでギフトにもおすすめ。
今日は兎、明日は亀。気分で選んでもいいし、行事などに合わせて選ぶのもよし。
自宅用だけでなくて、贈り物にもおすすめ。
手のひらに収まるサイズ感が可愛らしくて、どんどん愛着がわいてくるはず。
毎日いろいろな場面で登場させてあげてください。
