Color, texture, and shape

Suzuki Fumie's small cups are cute, thick and chunky. The warm colours go well with any drink. It's the perfect size for busy mornings or for those who don't normally drink that much. The soft, slightly rough texture fits comfortably in your hand and is soothing to the soul.

Expressive Kohiki Pottery

The iron dots on the surface and the small cracks in the stone give it a rich look. It also goes well with the creamy powder color that is unique to Suzuki Fumie. The burnt red soil peeking out from underneath the pottery is also an attractive feature. The simple expression that makes you feel like you could gaze at it forever is perfect for when you want to relax.

Can also be used as a small bowl

Since it is not deep, it can be used as a small bowl for salads or light snacks. It can also be used as a cup for dessert.

Cute down to the core

There is a cute flower design on the bottom. The brown and mint blue go well together and show the artist's good taste.
When the vessel gets wet, the moisture soaks in and grey spots appear around the edges of the stone and pinholes. We hope you will enjoy this as part of the charm of Kohiki and help develop your vessel. The spots will disappear as they dry.

If you are concerned about stains, soak the product thoroughly in water before using it for the first time. The grey spots will disappear once the fabric is fully absorbed.
[If you soak it in water for a long time, the water will soak into the entire vessel and there will be no spots. The photo shows a small ear cup (large)]

Before each use, dip the container in water, allow it to absorb enough water, then wipe it down before use. This will help prevent stains.

However, stains will appear if you use it for a long time. This is also part of the charm of Kohiki, so please enjoy the changes that occur over time as the pottery develops.
