Baba Katsufumi Pottery Studio | Clay pot (small) for one person

Baba Katsufumi Pottery Studio is located in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The pottery created by ceramic artist Katsufumi Baba is all simple, yet unique. Is that how it feels? Everything, even the glazes, are handmade, demonstrating the passion and dedication that goes into pottery. It seems like it will be useful for a long time in all aspects of life.

"Long and simple."

At Baba Katsufumi Pottery Studio, we treasure this phrase, and it's amazing how the words and our products match perfectly.

All clay pots are handmade.

Each and every one of these cute, plump clay pots is carefully crafted by Baba Katsufumi. This simple yet unique clay pot features an original glaze by Baba Katsufumi. This is a new design that is even simpler than the previous design. The volume remains the same, but you can now enjoy the cute, plump shape with your food.

A single-serving clay pot is very convenient.

A single-person pot is a great thing to have. Katsufumi Baba's clay pot is made of heat-resistant clay and can be used over an open flame, in the microwave, or in an oven, expanding the range of dishes you can make. In addition to hot pots, you can also enjoy other warm dishes such as yudofu, stewed udon, risotto, and pot-au-feu. Since it is for one person, you can take it to the table as is without worrying about portions. The back side is carved into a circular shape, so it heats up quickly and you can also cook rice in the clay pot.

A simple and unique clay pot.

Katsufumi Baba's pottery also uses original glazes. The mixture of glazes changes depending on the type of clay and the piece, and after repeated testing and research to ensure there are no cracks, and that the color does not change depending on the temperature, he creates pottery with beautiful colors that are unlike any other.
There may be individual differences in the shade of the glaze around the corners. Please enjoy this as an individual feature of each product, which is unique because it is handmade.
After graduating from the Faculty of Law at Fukuoka University, he traveled to France. After returning to Japan, he completed the small potter's wheel training course at the Shigaraki Ceramic Industry Testing Center, and trained at Shigaraki Maruju Kiln and Shigaraki Kusado Kiln. In 2003, he went independent in his hometown of Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture. He continues to create pottery with passion, with the motto "Long and simple." His reputation has led to more reputations, attracting many people and making him very popular.
