Square-mouthed, iron, Oribe

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 today is a small jar-type lidded piece. It has a cylindrical shape with a square opening. The iron glaze and Oribe texture create an impressive color scheme. When you open the lid, the inside is a dark color. The lid that extends from the container has a soft shape and the twig-like handle adds an accent. This is a piece that exudes a calm atmosphere. As an object, as a vessel... So, what would you put into this piece? How do you use it? ■Material: Container/Ceramics Lid: Zelkova, walnut ■Size: Width approx. 92mm, depth approx. 90mm, height approx. 170mm *The scale in the photo is 100mm in height. *The lid has a ceramic finish. It is resistant to moisture, but if left unattended it may stain, so if moisture gets on it, wipe it off as soon as possible. Also, do not use a dish dryer, dry it in direct sunlight, or use a microwave, as these may cause cracks or warping. Also, the lid is not airtight, so it is not suitable as a storage container for items that dislike moisture.
