Enjoy the difference in glaze

The glaze layered on top of the pottery makes it difficult for water and dirt to soak in, and also makes a difference in appearance. The luster and color created by glaze is one of the ways to enjoy baked goods. If you find your favorite gem, you can use it for a long time.

Four expressions

Ancient glaze Inokuchi chrysanthemum arabesque uses four different glazes. It is unique to pottery that each one emits a slightly different color.

・ Oribe: A glaze that emits a deep green color. Its name comes from Oribe Furuta, who was a warlord and tea master.
・ Kiseto: A glaze that produces a pale yellow color. Like Oribe and Shino, it is a typical glaze from the Momoyama period.
・ Iron glaze (Tetsuyu): Depending on the ingredients contained in the glaze, it will be brown or persimmon. Due to the uneven surface, you can see a deeper expression.
・ Glaze (kaiyuu): A glaze that uses plant ash, etc., and is said to be Japan's oldest glaze that has been used since the Heian period. Emits a faint bluish green color.

Unlike white porcelain, they all have a quaint appearance that makes you feel calm. The shadow of the chrysanthemum arabesque pattern, which is carefully carved with a glaze, emerges more clearly, making it a fun mouthpiece that you can enjoy from the appearance. The chrysanthemum arabesque is known as an auspicious pattern that means prosperity and longevity, because the vines are strongly entwined and stretched.

Ancient glaze Inokuchi Chrysanthemum arabesque is relatively high, so it can be used as a sake cup, soba noodle, or as a teacup. Of course, it is also recommended to pair and select as a congratulatory item.

Express with "engraving"

Pottery can be expressed in a variety of ways, including its shape, pattern, color, texture, and gloss. Seto ware, which has a history of 1300 years, is a pottery that has been popular with Japanese people for a long time, and it has inherited the high level of technological strength that it is said that there is no pottery that cannot be made in Seto. HORITSUKE, who has been working as a prototype for containers for many years in the Seto area, proposes a container that matches the modern dining table by making the best use of the shadows of "carving".

Even though HORITSUKE is the most engraved feature, the shape of the container has been redesigned from the classic ones that have been used daily since ancient times, and ease of use has been emphasized. The pattern that gives off will adapt to the dining table regardless of whether it is Japanese or Western.

Soldier's technology

Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, is a major production center of pottery known as Setomono. HORITSUKE conveys the local manufacturing techniques and ceramic culture to modern life.

For the ceramic production in the Seto / Mino region, mass production was required especially while keeping the cost down after the war, and it was common for the division of labor to be different depending on the process such as kiln, glaze, substrate, and mold. The manufacturer that is the base of HORITSUKE has been making molds for vessels for about 50 years. HORITSUKE takes advantage of the technology cultivated in mold manufacturing, and is not a method of decorating the finished container such as painting or dyeing, but engraving the pattern from the stage of the prototype of the container, We create a delicate and sophisticated container that takes advantage of its goodness.

Molds are indispensable for mass-producing tableware. It is a brand that conveys the culture of ceramics by creating a container in which the high technology accumulated by the ancestors is felt as an added value.
