Cylinder Katakuchi

£6200

This design started off in life as a soy sauce pourer, with its delicate small spout and cylindrical body. But the design was so pleasing that we made a slightly larger one too with a volume more suitable for sake drinkers! The edge of the lid even has a slight concave shape to it so it is easy to pick up and replace on the top. Then there is yet another clear feldspar glaze lining the katakuchi and spout. Such attention to detail.

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.
