Shuo Iwakiri - 7寸鉢
¥7,040Tax included
Size: W210×H52mm
・This piece is made by pressing thin slices of clay against a plaster mold. (Tatara technique)
・Although using a mold ensures that each piece is the same size, the thin clay is prone to warping, and the degree of warping varies depending on the amount of pressure applied.
・While “warping” may have negative connotations, I view it as the clay moving naturally in the direction it desires, and I cherish the warping that emerges as a tangible expression of my interaction with the clay.
・I apply a thin layer of Bōno-tsu clay—used in the CULTIVATE series—to create a gradient effect on the surface.
・Since each piece is handmade, the color, texture, and shape vary from piece to piece.

How to Use
・This piece is pottery and absorbs a small amount of water. Wash it promptly after use and allow it to dry completely. Insufficient drying may cause odors or mold.
・Do not use in a dishwasher, microwave, or oven, as this may cause cracking or breakage.
・This piece has glaze crazing that will gradually take on color with use. If this concerns you, soak the piece in water or warm water before use to help prevent staining in the crazing.
・The maker personally enjoys the way the crazing develops color over time.
・Color, pattern, shape, distortion, and crazing vary from piece to piece.
