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.

About this Work
This is the small size of our popular octagonal plate.
It's the perfect size for a single main dish or a breakfast plate.
Its elongated shape can even accommodate dried fish and condiments.
The octagonal plate is a high-performance dish that is not only visually appealing but also highly practical.
Its sleek appearance makes even everyday dishes look special.
Being a square plate, it optimizes space on the dining table and is easy to store.
It's less angular than a perfect square, making it easier to handle without worrying about sharp corners, and its appearance isn't overly rigid.
The color is a new shade of gray. While contemporary, it's a versatile neutral tone that blends well and offers a wide range of uses. Small white crystals and iron particles are scattered throughout.
Please note that there will be individual differences in the firing, ranging from bluish-gray to whitish-gray.
As these pieces are handmade, some may exhibit slight wobbling, warping, small holes, or unevenness, and due to the production process, some backstamps may be difficult to see. Additionally, because natural materials are used, some pieces may have small iron spots (black spots) from the clay, or glaze runs, pooling, or pinholes.
Even when made using the same methods, no two dishes are exactly alike. We hope you will appreciate the unique individuality and character of each piece.
