seto potters
This story begins in the heart of Japan's pottery region, where ceramics have been made for more than a thousand years. Setomono, the everyday Japanese word for tableware, comes from this place. In 1950, a small ceramics shop opened its doors. Seventy-five years later, the studio's work is known across Japan. Slow, considered pieces, shaped by a place that has set the country's table for a millennium.
The tableware determines what you drink. The tableware determines what you eat." - Mitsuo Kato, Founderall japanese pottery →

A porcelain teapot crafted in Seto, Japan, modelled on the form of a British afternoon tea pot. Hand-glazed in glossy white, with a curving vine-like handle, a tiered lid, and an oval body sized for sharing without taking over the table. Ideal for an afternoon pour, a long Sunday breakfast, or a single mug brewed on a slow morning, bringing English tea structure to a Japanese ceramic tradition.
