About this Work

This free cup has a wide top and narrow bottom, making it easy to hold with one hand. Its smaller size is perfect for serving guests. It can be used for tea, coffee, or even alcoholic beverages.
Delicate iron lines are drawn one by one with an iron stylus. Since they are freehand, the lines have a soft, not monotonous, feel.
The lightly colored areas vary in hue, from gray to colors closer to orange or pink. Additionally, the white areas may have yellowish spots due to variations in glaze thickness.
These variations are characteristic of handmade items. Please enjoy them as unique features.

As these items are handcrafted, some may have slight wobbling, distortions, small holes, or unevenness, and due to the manufacturing process, some backstamps may be difficult to see. Also, because natural materials are used, some items may have small iron spots (black dots) from the clay, or glaze runs, pooling, or pinholes.

Even when made in the same way, no two pieces of pottery are exactly alike. We hope you will appreciate the unique character and charm of each piece.

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.
