single moment of nature, captured in pottery.\u003cbr\u003eA droplet of wave landscape to set on your table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo two waves are ever the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Lazuli piece shaped like a single drop spilled from the surface of the water, holding the look of that one moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gengetsu” is a soft white series evoking the moon as it quietly waxes and wanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gentle wave pattern rising through the white gives it the stillness of water lit by moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ A Droplet of Landscape for Your Table ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA droplet plate of about 16 × 11.5cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet petits fours, macarons or seasonal fruit on it for

shift the angle a little.\u003cbr\u003eHow you place it changes the look of the plate, bringing quiet movement to the usual table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFill it generously, or leave space on purpose and let the wave pattern show through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the mood of the day and the dish, you can enjoy the droplet form and the wave landscape however you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ No Two Waves Are Alike ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wave pattern is made with a technique called inkoku, or incised carving: the relief of the waves is cut into the clay surface, white glaze is laid over it, and the pattern rises through the variation in glaze depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relief creates differences in the thickness of the glaze, and soft waves rise through the white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glaze also shifts subtly in the shade and character of its white, depending on its thickness and on how the heat reaches it inside the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same white may appear as a soft milky tone, or let the shadows of the waves surface quietly.\u003cbr\u003eThat fluctuation creates a landscape like water lit by moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow the pattern emerges, and the depth and shade of the glaze, differ slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo two waves are ever the same.\u003cbr\u003ePlease enjoy the individual character of each, holding its own single moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~ A Small Landscape, Boxed ~\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt arrives in Lazuli’s blue gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the box and a droplet landscape of waves in soft white appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a piece just for yourself.\u003cbr\u003eAs company for a moment’s rest, alongside a favourite sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd as a small gift for someone dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small pleasure in daily life, and a moment when the heart quietly unwinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is made one by one, with the wish that good waves may come your way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e────────\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct
