Original vessels created by ceramic artist Morishita Shingo. The lid was created by woodworker Yasushi Shimizu to fit the container. With this combination, a new "lidded container" was created. What we would like to introduce to you this time is a lidded piece with a shaping mechanism. This vessel is characterized by its rounded shape and deep red color. When you open the lid, you'll see that the neck is black. I used zelkova wood and made it into a round shape. This is a piece that has a unique atmosphere that is both cute and sophisticated. So, what would you put into this piece? How do you use it? ■Material: Container/Ceramics Lid: Zelkova ■Size: Width approx. 48mm, depth approx. 48mm, height approx. 88mm *The scale in the photo is 100mm in height. About the vessels ・The vessels are made using porous clay and various glazes, and are finished with an emphasis on texture and not preventing the vessel from breathing. Flower vases and other items that will be used while storing water for long periods of time are treated with an anti-bleeding agent, but the effect is not perfect and there are variations between pieces (due to differences in clay and glaze), so water may start to seep in little by little after a few days of storing water. Please be careful when placing the vessels in places that are vulnerable to water (we recommend taking measures such as using a tray). ・Please dry the dishes thoroughly after use. If they are not dried properly, it may cause mold to grow and may also adversely affect the strength of the ceramic. About the lid ・The lid is made of solid wood and finished with a ceramic paint. It is resistant to moisture, but not perfect, and may stain if left unattended. If moisture gets on it, wipe it off as soon as possible. ・Avoid using a dishwasher or microwave, or drying in direct sunlight, as this may cause the product to crack or warp. -The lid is not airtight, so it is not suitable for storing items that dislike moisture.
