The plate of Seto

Horse eye plate made in Seto from the Edo period, long ago. It is said that its name is given to the pattern of the vortex drawn around it that resembles the eyes of a horse. Utsuwa, which has an impact but leaves a unique impression that can not be said in either Japanese or Western style, is compatible with various dishes and is useful as a main dish at the dining table.

Bold and modern

Normally, a horse's eye dish has a pattern drawn with a glaze applied to a container, but at HORITSUKE, the pattern is carved with a chisel to create a bold and solid design. Although it seems to have been passed down for more than 100 years, the modern atmosphere that does not feel old is perfect for a modern dining table.

In addition, three different glazes make the look attractive. The unique feature of pottery is 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.
・ Shino: A glaze made in Shino, Kyoto since the Momoyama era. In addition to the warm white color, a slight scarlet color and small holes may appear on the surface.

Unlike white porcelain, they all have a quaint appearance that makes you feel calm. The 6-inch size is perfect for serving plates, and the 8-inch size is perfect for serving main dishes. Since it is a flat plate, you can arrange it in various ways. 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.
