“Six Gourds” Companion Chopsticks Soup Cup The pattern on this teapot

The pattern on this teapot is painted entirely by hand before firing — each stroke placed one piece at a time

and the cup arrives at the table with the particular character that the kiln leaves behind

The weight of a well-made knife is felt in the first use

this chopstick rest holds the quiet character of something made individually — not uniform
