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.
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.
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.

皆さんは毎年おせち料理を作っていますか?
あまり大きな声では言えませんが、私はデパートで売っているおせちを好んで食べる派です。
プロの料理人が丹精込めて作った料理の数々、日頃口にできない高級食材なんかも入っていて心躍ります。
しかし、このおせちに心躍らない家族もいます。
それは二人の子ども達です。
上の子は食わず嫌いなところがあり食べられるのは伊達巻き、栗の甘露煮、紅白のかまぼこくらい。
下の子は奥歯がまだ生えておらずかむ力もないので、たつくりや昆布巻きなどは到底無理。
そのため、子ども用のおせちは私が作るようになりました。
中まで火を通したローストビーフや甘さ控えめの栗きんとん(さつまいも入り)、
野菜をたくさん入れたグラタン、唐揚げなんかも入れちゃいます。
もはやこれをおせちと言っていいのか…とも思いますが、子ども達が喜んでくれるのでよしとします。
前置きが長くなりましたが、私がこのおせちを詰めるのに使っているのが梅紋角二段重です。
色は緑釉と飴釉の二色展開。
このお重、主に二段重として販売していますが、本体のみ(身)や蓋のみの購入も可能です。
正直なところ、二段のお重にそれぞれ違うお料理をびっしり詰める自信がなく、
私は本体(身)を2つ、蓋を2つ購入して、一段ずつ使っています。
お料理に自信のある方はぜひ三段重がおすすめです。
またこのお重はお正月のおせちに限らず、ちょくちょく使っています。
以前、同僚宅で各自持ち寄りのランチ会をした時、私はこれにおいなりさんをびっしり詰めて持って行きました。
ぴったりと綺麗に入ったので、詰めるのが楽しかったです。
その他、おはぎなどの手作りの和菓子をお土産に、友人宅や実家へ持っていくなんて使い方もおすすめですよ。
このお重は2色展開と先ほど言いましたが、
同じサイズで「白雪お重」と「トルコ青釉角二段重」という商品もあります。
今年のお正月は好きな色のお重を選んで、おせち料理を手作りしてみませんか?
