About this Work

This is a free cup that is easy to hold with one hand, with a shape that widens at the top and narrows at the bottom. It's a small size, perfect for serving guests. It can be used for tea, coffee, or sake. Delicate iron lines are drawn one by one with a stylus. Since it is freehand, the lines are not monotonous and have a soft atmosphere. The lightly colored parts have individual differences in color, ranging from gray to colors close to orange and pink. Also, in the white parts, yellowish areas may appear due to variations in the glaze's density. These variations are unique to handmade items. Please enjoy them as individual characteristics. Since these items are handmade, some may have slight wobbling, distortion, small holes, or unevenness, and in some cases, the back stamp may be difficult to see due to the manufacturing process. Additionally, as natural ingredients are used, some items may have small iron spots (black spots) from the clay, or glaze runs, pooling, and pinholes. Even when made in the same way, no two pieces are exactly alike. We hope you will appreciate each item's unique character and charm.

Artisan Story

Furutani Potters was established in 1970 by Nobuo Furutani. By applying white slip to our unique blend of iron-rich red clay and firing it twice at low temperatures, we create soft, powdered vessels. The "white" of our powdered ceramics is rustic and warm. It gently embraces any dish and pairs perfectly with other tableware. Additionally, guided by the theme "accompanying daily life," we subtly adapt our designs to fit various lifestyles, including food culture and living spaces. We create our pieces daily, believing that our simple and easy-to-use ceramics will surely enrich your life.

01. Enjoyable and Delicious Cooking
When food is served in a beautiful vessel, it truly shines. Even the same dish takes on a different appearance when the vessel changes. "What kind of dish should I serve in this vessel?" Your imagination expands, making cooking even more enjoyable.

02. Tableware You'll Want to Use Every Day
Our ceramics feature a rustic texture and simple design because we want you to use them every day. We design them to be lightweight, easy to hold, and just the right size, incorporating various ideas into their creation. We hope they become vessels that you "find yourself using every day."

03. Crafted with Heart
Every piece of Furutani Potters' tableware is meticulously handmade through each step of the process. We pour our hearts into crafting each piece, hoping to create even better vessels tomorrow than today, envisioning the smiles of those who will use them. Our soft, gentle handmade ceramics gently embrace your food.
