Festive small plates for gifting
The craft of making by hand
From the first shaping to the final firing, Kingunjo is made with close attention from its craftspeople.
After carving several clay models to explore the shape, we carve the chosen form in plaster. We take a mold from it and pour in clay to produce the pieces. The formed bodies are dried, trimmed smooth, bisque-fired, glazed, and fired again. Through these many stages, each piece comes to life as tableware.
Kingunjo's appeal lies in the gentle, individual brushwork applied to each piece. Like scenes in nature, no two are exactly alike. Each plate holds the craftsperson's care for its individual character.
About Teshio, POTPURRI's small-plate brand
Named after the teshio-zara, considered one possible origin of small Japanese plates, Teshio is a brand that puts heartfelt care into these little dishes.
Long ago, as part of beliefs associated with salt, a small dish of salt was placed in the corner of a dining tray to purify the meal setting. This little dish, which fits in the palm of a hand, is called a teshio-zara.
Over time, these small plates became pieces for enjoying food. Their presence adds character to the table.
We fire each piece in our Tokyo workshop and send it out with the hope that its owner will cherish it and enjoy using it for years.
