About Celadon
Each Celadon piece shows a wide range of color variation, so the shade you receive may differ slightly from the photos provided. We hope you’ll enjoy these natural differences as part of the beauty and individuality of handmade ceramics.
About Natural
The Natural color may show a soft pinkish hue known as Gohon-te, a natural kiln effect that occurs during firing. This gentle variation is part of its charm and will not change color over time, so you can use it with confidence.
About Reddish Black
Due to differences in firing conditions, the color of Reddish Black pieces may vary slightly from one to another. We hope you’ll appreciate these variations as part of the natural character of pottery.
Reddish Black pieces feature a distinctive brushed texture with a slightly rough surface. You may feel gentle unevenness or grain when holding them, please enjoy this tactile quality as part of their authentic ceramic appeal.
Iron Inclusions
Clay used for pottery contains various natural elements such as iron and microorganisms. During firing, these components may appear as small black spots on the surface. Each piece has been carefully inspected and meets our quality standards.
Burn Marks
At times, you may find burn marks on the surface of our pottery. These are natural kiln variations, known as yōhen, that occur during firing. They are part of the ceramic’s unique character and do not affect its use or quality.
Pinholes
When bisque-fired, air trapped in the clay body or organic matter (such as dust) may remain as tiny holes after firing. These small holes are called pinholes. A visual specialty of pottery, these do not effect the quality of the product, and there is no need for further concern when used.
