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
A stable shape. It has a slight lip, making it pleasant to the touch when drinking.
Perfect not only for soup but also for cereals and granola.
The colored parts are made by applying rough clay and carving it with a comb. The slightly rough texture of the comb marks and the warm color enhance the white slip glaze.
The degree of redness is determined by various factors such as the concentration of the white slip, the position in the kiln, and the season. There are individual differences, ranging from dark brown to close to gray. Please enjoy the varying colors, unique to earthenware.
As these are handmade, some may have slight wobbles, distortions, small holes, or unevenness, and due to the manufacturing process, the back stamp may be difficult to see. Additionally, as natural ingredients are used, some items may have small iron spots (black dots) from the clay, or glaze runs, pools, and pinholes.
Even when made in the same way, no two pieces are exactly alike. We hope you will understand this as the unique character and charm of each piece.
