Know before you buy
This pot does not feature drainage holes, so it is best suited as a decorative vessel. If you choose to use it for plants, we recommend keeping the plant in a separate plastic liner to prevent water from sitting against the earthenware.
Because this is a hand-built, glazed earthenware item, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and avoiding the use of harsh chemical cleaners.
No. Because each piece is hand-built and features a reactive glaze, there will be natural variations in texture and color. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of Nobue Iberaki’s artisanal process.
No, this piece is designed strictly for decorative purposes and is not microwave or oven safe. Exposure to high heat may damage the integrity of the earthenware and the reactive glaze.
The clay is sourced from the volcanic regions of Kyushu, which is known for its mineral-rich composition. This natural material interacts with the glaze during the firing process to produce the unique metallic finish and organic texture characteristic of this collection.
