Fumie Suzuki | Small ear cup, white (large)

A small white ear cup (large) by Suzuki Fumie, a potter from Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. It has a soft feel with a hint of earthiness and a warm texture that is very appealing. The little ears that give the piece its title are incredibly adorable.

Color, texture, and shape

Suzuki Fumie's cups are thick and have a gentle silhouette, which gives them a certain charm. The warm colours go well with any drink. 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.

Add color to your dining table

It's deep, so you could put vegetable sticks in it. It's sure to brighten up your dinner table.

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.
[Spots that appear around the edges of the stone and around pinholes. It is said that tea masters enjoyed these changes.]

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 the vessel in water for a long time, the water will soak into the entire vessel and there will be no spots.]

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.
