One bowl for soup, another for salad
When blur launched in 2015, the bowl developed alongside its plates was named the Deep Plate—the Japanese term is asabachi, or shallow bowl. A little shallower than an ordinary bowl, it is a useful size for soup for one or salad for two.
A slim rim that is easy to hold and frames the food beautifully
The broad rims found on restaurant tableware can feel impractical at home, taking up too much space. Yet a rim really does frame food beautifully. For blur, delicate carving is kept within a narrow rim, then infused with a chloride colorant. This small accent is part of its lasting appeal.
Translucent glaze and a gradient around the rim.
blur draws on Kiseto, a traditional style of Mino ware from Gifu. The technique called tanpan applies a penetrating metallic colourant to bisque-fired pieces before the final firing.
blur began with the idea of adapting this technique to create softly diffused colour, approaching the process almost like dyeing fabric.
Traditional tanpan uses copper to create a diffused green. For blur, nickel chloride produces the white finish, while cobalt chloride is used for blue and brown. Colouring the raised and recessed areas receives particular attention, drawing on the craftsperson’s skill to achieve an even finish with a brush.
A broad range of pieces covers everyday meals, with three colors to mix and match.
Two sizes to enjoy together
The 17 cm Deep Plate is useful for stew or simmered dishes, while the 13 cm version is convenient for individual portions. These two sizes work especially well together. Try mixing colors, too.
For one more useful addition, complete the set with the compact, deep 10 cm Bowl.
masamura craft
In Tajimi, Gifu, one of Japan's leading tableware-producing regions, masamura craft artisans carefully shaped and decorated each piece by hand. The brand disappeared for a time as circumstances changed. Those earlier pieces retained a lasting sense of craftsmanship, warmth and familiarity.
We carry forward those designs and techniques, combining them with contemporary production methods and design to offer a new masamura craft for the lifestyles ahead.
POTPURRI's sister brand masamura craft is developed collaboratively by 大脇彩子, formerly of the now-closed tableware maker Masamura Seitosho in Tajimi, Gifu, model maker and artist 岩城宏行, and POTPURRI designer Hiroyuki Okami.
