Much like old folk craftsmen I didn’t sign this pot, whose beauty resides in its simplicity and unobtrusive but striking presence, but for commercial purposes it comes with a certificate of authenticity. Contrasting rich rust colour brush strokes, result of the glazing process, are discreetly visible in some areas.

This bottle is dishwasher safe and food safe, although washing by hand is highly advised. The sharper edges can be susceptible to chipping if they’re hit hard so, please handle your pots with care. Remember, this isn’t a mass-produced factory pot; this is a unique handmade piece. The luscious dark tenmoku glaze may pick up water stains from limestone-rich water sources but the easily they wash away.
