The handmade story and the maker’s notes on quiet contemplation of slow living, the warmth of the kiln and the story infused into every curve. The beautiful imperfections and why no two pieces are ever truly the same...
MATSU No E-Gara (The Pine)
The twisted trunk, the needle’s green,
The sturdiest branch the woods have seen.
A symbol of a life well-spent,
In quiet strength and calm content.
Matsu No E-Gara captures the timeless elegance of the Japanese pine. The hand-painted tree winds across the round with an ancient grace, its teal and emerald needles rendered with meticulous care. It is a piece that speaks of endurance and the beauty found in weathered, organic forms—a true keepsake for the discerning collector.
The grounded nature of this piece makes it a wonderful match for earthy flavours. It serves beautifully as a side for Thai satay skewers or a selection of dark, bitter Italian chocolates. In a French setting, it is an elegant choice for a slice of rustic pain d'épices, while at an English breakfast, it perfectly accommodates a serving of marmalade or a single, well-buttered crumpet.
