Handmade to make the most of Shigaraki ware

Furuya Seitosho's works are based on Shigaraki ware. Shigaraki ware is one of the six ancient kilns of Japan, and is characterized by its unique texture, which is created by using soil collected from the rich natural environment and firing at high temperatures. The texture created by this soil and glaze combines warmth and simplicity, gently decorating your everyday dining table.

At Furuya Seitosho, we use hand-crafted techniques that utilize line patterns made with iron brushes and light and dark shades of glaze to create unique and luxurious pieces.

Notes

As these cups are all handmade, they may have some wobbling, distortion, small holes, or unevenness. In addition, as they are made from natural materials, there may be iron spots (black spots) in the clay, glaze flow, or pinholes.

Even if the same design is used, no two pieces are exactly the same. Please enjoy the individuality of each piece.

If you purchase multiple pieces, we will try to choose pieces that are as similar in appearance as possible, but there may be slight differences in color and shape between the pieces you already own and the newly purchased pieces. Please understand this before making your purchase.
