Ceramic Pitcher 14 oz

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

The soft white cream glaze, accented by a rich brown rim, offers a warm, inviting feel. The handle, complete with a small finger rest, adds a simple yet charming touch that’s as functional as it is welcoming.

These pitchers come in two designs: one with delicate polka dots, applied using the traditional Japanese technique icchin, where clay slip is gently dripped onto the surface, and another with classic white stripes. The playful polka dots and timeless stripes each offer their own unique charm. The kannyu, the decorative crackle pattern in the glaze, further enhances the beauty of these pieces.

With a capacity of 14–15 oz, these pitchers pour and drain smoothly, as tested. They also make a beautiful statement on the table, whether used as pitchers or vases.

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.
