Ceramic Bottle 8 oz

Crafted by Yoshihiro Nanao, a potter inspired by the mingei tradition of Japanese folk crafts, these ceramic bottles embody his philosophy. As Nanao himself puts it, "Every day, I craft pottery with the hope of creating warm pieces that bring comfort and beauty to everyday life."

These bottles come in two designs: one with a soothing blue glaze, touched with hints of green that evoke the calm of the sea, and another with classic brown stripes on a white glaze.

Originally made as tea keepers, these bottles are full of possibilities. Use them as tumblers for tea or coffee (the bottom part is glazed inside), a vase for fresh blooms, or simply as a charming display piece. Let your imagination run wild.

Please read before purchasing:

• Since each piece is handmade, even items with the same design may vary slightly in size, color, and appearance. Please refer to the photos and videos of each piece for details.
• Some ceramic pieces may have pinholes, small black spots, or minor imperfections. These are natural characteristics of ceramics and should be embraced.
• Over time, you may notice changes in color and texture as the piece ages.

Please make your purchase with an understanding of these natural qualities and check out our How to Care For Ceramics page for more information.
