ART PIECE Waterbird Figurine
JPY 5,500 (incl. tax)
In 2017, animal figurines handmade one by one in our Tokyo workshop joined the POTPURRI collection.
Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
Carved feathers cover this floating waterbird, while its vivid blue-green glaze gives it a cheerful presence.
Waterbirds live along rivers, lakes and wetlands. Oils in their feathers help keep them dry on and beneath the water.
Soft-looking feathers are carved across the body of this vivid blue-green waterbird. Part of the fun is imagining for yourself what kind of bird it might be.
Dimensions: W135 × D40 × H100 mm

Things we need, things we do not—and things we still want in our lives
POTPURRI has made art pieces since its early days. In 2018, production moved from Seto in Aichi Prefecture to our Tokyo workshop. Every stage is done by hand, from making the original model and developing the glaze to producing the finished pieces.
A bird, not a snail
It really does look like a snail.
Yet this is just how a waterbird looks as it rests its wings on a lake.
This color, neither blue nor green, is my favorite.
The color seems to reflect the water's surface, bringing a sense of peace and warmth.
We love this waterbird's uneven feathers and distinctive color.
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop
POTPURRI's Tokyo workshop opened in 2017, beginning with hand-painted Fajans pieces.
Today, half of our art pieces are made in the Tokyo workshop.
A world of wonderful animals
Handmade animal figurines joined the POTPURRI collection in 2017.
From Arctic polar bears and grassland hedgehogs to waterbirds and savanna buffalo, our growing collection takes inspiration from animals around the world. Relief details and glazes that change in the kiln give each animal a different expression and an endearing character.
Choose a favorite animal or enjoy adding companions to your collection.
Each piece is handmade in our Tokyo workshop and carries the “made in tokyo” mark.
