A red clay high in iron, blended in-house, is coated with white slip and fired twice at low temperature; that is where the soft kohiki white comes from. It is a plain, warm white rather than a bright one \u0026mdash; it takes any food gently, and sits well next to other people\u0026rsquo;s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme the pottery works to is staying close to daily life: not too heavy, easy to hold, the right size \u0026mdash; the forms shifting a little over the years to follow how people actually cook, eat and live. Every stage is done by hand. \u0026ldquo;Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today,\u0026rdquo; they write, \u0026ldquo;made with care, picturing the face of the person who will use it.\u0026rdquo; Food begins to shine once it is served on a piece of pottery; the same dish shows a different face when the dish under it changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandwork, so some pieces sit with a slight wobble, and iron in the clay shows as small dark specks.
