Made in Japan
Use and care
Keep out of the microwave.
Wash by hand.
Do not use in the oven.
• Craftspeople apply a thin glaze to each piece by hand, allowing it to pool at the bottom and create gradients across the surface.
Seal the surface before first use.
Seasoning seals the open pores of the clay and helps keep stains from entering the glaze’s fine crazing. Repeating the process periodically helps seal these fine cracks so you can enjoy the piece for longer.
Put rice-rinsing water in a saucepan, stir well and bring it to the boil. Turn off the heat and place the piece in the water. Let the saucepan cool slowly for about an hour. Once completely cool, rinse away the starchy film with water and dry thoroughly.
This collection has a fine crackle pattern in the surface glaze, known as crazing. Dark-coloured drinks and foods may stain these fine lines.

Charming small plates shaped like fruit
Craftspeople apply a thin glaze to each piece by hand, allowing it to pool at the bottom, so
you can enjoy gradients in the glaze across the surface.
A small-scale series with a presence of its own.
For the Fig, green glaze represents the fruit before it ripens, while deep purple depicts its deliciously ripe stage.
Small, capable and versatile
Use it for condiments, butter or pickles, or as a tasting dish in the kitchen.
Its presence alone creates a charming little scene.
Collect several and enjoy finding different ways to use them.
Lovely as a chopstick rest, too
It is equally useful as a small plate, chopstick rest or cutlery rest.
The subdued colors keep the design from feeling overly sweet and make it easy to use.
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.
Fig
Green glaze represents a fig before it ripens, while deep purple depicts the fruit at its deliciously ripe stage.
Vivid green and deep purple glassy glazes give the endearing shape a character that is not overly sweet.
Use it for condiments or butter at the table, or as a tasting dish in the kitchen. Its presence alone creates a charming little scene.
