34 Sugar Pot (Mocha)

A notable artist at FFT, potter Shintaro Enami. As the foremost apprentice of Tetsuya and Momoko Otani, he gained five years of diverse experience and just recently went independent from "Otani Seito Sho" in April of this year. Our long-cherished wish came true, and he is participating in this exhibition for the first time!

Enami's works feature characteristic flowing lines of shinogi. All are hand-carved, and their elegant and delicate appearance is truly breathtaking. And his pottery wheel technique is, as expected, superb.

The pieces are light, comfortable to hold, and have excellent weight balance. While having a refined form, the works, imbued with the soft expression of curves, seem to represent the aroma of coffee and will surely lead your coffee break to be even more enriching.

Caliber: approx. 8cm / Height: approx. 12cm (including lid)

As these are artisanal pieces, there may be individual differences in glaze, color, and size.

[Care Instructions]
Because this pottery is absorbent, its texture will change with the moisture and oil from food. Since it is prone to staining, we recommend avoiding dark-colored dishes until the entire piece is seasoned with oil. As you use it more, it will develop a richer character, and we hope you enjoy this transformation. If you are concerned, try soaking it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent staining and odors to some extent, allowing it to gradually mature.
