POTPURRI is a Japanese tableware manufacturer with a workshop and kiln in Tokyo. We design and make original ceramic collections and objects for everyday living.

Work and play are both part of everyday life. We value beauty that lasts, while staying curious about what comes next.

Our name comes from the Swedish word “potpurri”—a mixture of different things. People, cultures and the skills of craftspeople come together in the objects we create for everyday use.

Makers, designers, copywriters, chefs and buyers bring their own ways of seeing and doing. Together, we make objects, tell stories, choose what we love and prepare food.

What each person values—and the experience they bring—shapes our tableware, our food and the places where we welcome you.

Working with clay, shaping and firing. We develop and refine prototypes by hand, exploring how each piece looks, feels and fits into daily life.

Alongside our Tokyo workshop, we work with craftspeople in Japan’s pottery regions. From our own collections to custom ceramics for other brands and businesses, we help bring ideas to life.

Feel the texture of a cup, discover a colour, or find something you hadn’t expected. At Shoin-jinja, you can also enjoy food and ice cream served in our ceramics.

Pick something up. Share a conversation. A visit to our stores is a chance to find small, new pleasures for everyday life.

Seasonal flowers on the table. A quiet moment with a favourite cup. Natural colours and materials, and a meal shared with family or friends.

These simple pleasures inspire what we make and choose. We hope our pieces will find a place in your daily life, growing more familiar and more loved with use.
