Flat Top Katakuchi

£5000

Another lovely ergonomic sake pourer from Suzuki san, but of course such a pretty and versatile shape can be used for lots of things. The slight orange tinge to the clay hints at Shigaraki clay, but it is mixed from several clays including Arita porcelain clay to make a smooth, refined, yet mottled and tactile body.

200ml capacity, cups not included

  • Hand-thrown, kerosene-fired, from the Kobo Daidai Kiln South of Tokyo in Kanagawa prefecture
  • 9.0cm High, 10.0cm Wide, 13.0cm Long

Care Guide

Like all tableware and handmade homewares, our products should be used with some degree of care to help keep them looking good. We advise not dishwashing or microwaving these products.

These pieces are high fired stoneware and the feldspar glaze is very resilient so they should be tough, but Suzuki san is worried about the crackle glaze in the dishwasher, so he advises washing by hand.

Meet the Maker:

Kobo Daidai

Suzuki san has mastered the bright blue citrus ash crackle glaze which shimmers on his pieces like the waves on Tokyo Bay, which you can glimpse from his tiny studio in Kanagawa just South of Tokyo.

His pottery studio has more guitars in it than ceramics, becuase he loves to tinker with them and mend them in his spare time.
