A yunomi sized for everyday tea, about 180 ml. The clay shows through at the foot ring where the glaze stops short, a deliberate choice that lets you feel the texture of the fired Tamba clay when you hold it. Made in batches of six.

Thrown and then paddled flat while still soft, which gives the rim a slight irregularity that a jigger-made plate would not have. Glazed in a warm celadon that shifts between green and grey depending on the light. Safe for oven use up to 250 degrees Celsius.

Pouring jug, 600 ml

Contact us →

A simple jug for water or cold brew. The spout is pulled rather than attached, so it comes from the same wall of clay as the body. Glazed inside and out in the same ash glaze as the breakfast bowl. The handle is oval in cross-section, which makes it comfortable to hold when the jug is full.

A narrow cylinder, about 22 cm tall, made for a single stem or a small handful of dried grasses. The exterior has a combed texture applied with a wooden tool before the first firing. Unglazed on the outside; the interior is sealed with a clear liner glaze.
