Every line is drawn by hand in itchin \u0026mdash; slip squeezed from a dropper \u0026mdash; which is why the pattern comes out as fine as lacework. A jiucasca piece sits at the edge of the table and brings a graceful moment to an ordinary day: not simply tableware, but a small work of art made by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze glaze grows softer and deeper the more it is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maeda-asami\"\u003eSee everything by Maeda Asami\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyoto nokaze Global","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774667055190,"sku":null,"price":20460.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9473\/4678\/files\/LINE_ALBUM_3._5__261002_5_5cbd3264-c1e7-4ed2-bae9-ce8a73313f33.jpg?v=1790925883","url":"https:\/\/global.kyoto-nokaze.com\/products\/set-bronze-glaze-5","provider":"Kyoto nokaze Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
