Furidashi Vase - Ameyu

£45⁰⁰

These tiny vases are actually made as small candy shakers for the tea ceremony, but they make wonderful stem vases, especially when paired with a coaster or tile. There is a huge variation in the colour of these - the richer darker amder colours are gas-fired and the lighter coours are wood-fired, each time they come out different.

Takatori Kiln

The tea master Kobori Enshū valued Takatori ceramics for their subtle glazes and refined construction, and coined the phrase kireisabi to describe the appearance of patina which the Takatori family could achieve. 400 years later, the Takatori family is still going strong and their expertise is still apparent as soon as you see or hold any of their work. Despite all the tradition, the Takatori family are very open to experimenting and trying new glaze combinations and shapes and this has been a really fun process for both of us.

Their pieces seem so delicate, but the Takatori family fire their kiln at 1250 degrees which means all their mugs for example can be put in the dishwasher or microwave and are surprisingly resilient and can be used as everyday items. A lovely combination of beauty, utility, tradition and experimentation.
