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 petite porcelain plate crafted in Seto, Japan, modelled on the ruffled feathers of a French Barbarie duck. Hand-finished in navy glaze with petal-like fluted edges and a smooth centre that reverses to function as a saucer. Ideal for a bread plate, a single sweet at coffee, or as a saucer beneath a teacup, echoing the playful Franco-Japanese style of antique tableware.
