Blue Tableware for Summer

The temperature is rising,
the sky is a vivid blue,
and summer feels close.

We reach for refreshing glassware more often
as the weather warms.
Add the cool impression of blue,
and the setting becomes more summery
in both appearance and mood.

Choose the blue of a tropical sea
or the calm of deep water

to give your summer table
a fresh expression.

Terre

For Terre, earth-toned tableware named after the Earth, an artisan's technical suggestion led us to explore glazes that change during firing. We also revisited glaze concentration and application methods, researching them as we developed the series.
A new discovery during this process was to build up relatively thin layers of glaze.
Artisans apply thin layers of glaze to each piece, allowing it to pool at the bottom and create a beautiful gradient across the surface.

The palette includes blue inspired by the colors of the Earth, a glossy amber brown that recalls the land, and white with distinctive natural speckles that brings clouds to mind.
