■Note regarding parts baked at high temperature
This product was fired in a pit kiln at a temperature exceeding 1300°C. In a pit kiln, the falling ashes melt and take on a pearly appearance, while traces of charring and reddish highlights appear on the surface of the pieces. These color variations are what give wood firing in a pit kiln its unique charm.
Because this item is made from raw, unsifted clay, the clay particles are not uniform in size and contain many small pebbles, which is why water leakage often occurs. Therefore, after being treated to prevent leakage, flower vases are filled with water for about a week after firing, and tea bowls, sake cups, and sake bottles are filled with water for a day and a night to check for leaks. However, it is possible that water leakage may reappear during use. If the leakage persists, please apply instant glue to the exact spot where the leak is located.
