Features commonly found in ceramics
The finished vessel has a trace of manual work – hand painted or hand glazed. Each piece may have a slight difference, but this is part of the beauty and uniqueness of ceramics. We hope you embrace the handcrafted elements.
The following features are commonly found in our products:
Color unevenness
There may be places on the vessel where the color expression is not uniform. Due to products being manually finished, glaze may be thick or thin depending on the shape of the vessel.
Uneven application of glaze
The glaze is applied by hand, not by machine, on each piece, so there is a possibility of unevenness in color and position. In Japan, this unevenness is admired as the beauty that appears in handmade products. This may be the most common example of wabi-sabi aesthetics.
Pinhole
Pottery whose main component is soil, contains a lot of air at the stage of unglazed firing, which becomes bubbles during firing and appears as small holes on the surface of the glaze. This is called a pinhole.
Black spots formed by iron powder
When pottery is fired, the iron originally contained in the clay oxidizes as it is fired in the kiln, forming black spots on the surface of the ceramics.
Protrusions that appear on the surface of ceramics
Small dust or stones may adhere to the surface and become protrusions depending on the type of pottery and the type of clay used. Small one will be treated as good, but if there are any large one, please contact inèz customer service.
