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
The popular large size octagonal plate.
Perfect for one-plate meals or as a main dish for dinner.
The octagonal plate is a high-quality dish that is not only visually appealing but also easy to use.
Its smart appearance makes everyday dishes look great.
As a square plate, it doesn't create dead space on the dining table and is easy to store.
It's less angular than a square, so you don't have to worry about the corners when using it, and its appearance isn't too rigid.
The color is the new gray. Although it's a modern color, it's a neutral shade that blends well and can be used in a wide range of ways. Small white crystals and iron particles are scattered throughout.
Please note that there are individual differences in the firing, ranging from bluish-gray to whitish-gray.
As these are handmade, some may have slight wobbles, distortions, small holes, or unevenness, and due to the manufacturing process, some backstamps may be difficult to see. Also, as natural ingredients are used, some may have small iron spots (black dots) from the clay, glaze flow, pooling, or pinholes.
Even when made in the same way, no two pieces are exactly alike. We hope you will appreciate their individual character and charm.
