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...
ZEN GARDEN
A path of sand, a bamboo glade,
Where quiet thoughts are softly laid.
A lantern glows in morning light,
To lead the soul from busy night.
The Zen Garden is a miniature sanctuary held within a circle. The composition—featuring a stone lantern and a reaching bamboo branch—evokes a sense of stillness and meditation. The soft, watery tones of the glaze create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting a moment of pause before the first bite.
This round is an ideal companion for a refined Oriental tea service, perfect for a single wagashi or a few pickled plums. It transitions effortlessly to a French table as a stage for a delicate petit four, or an Italian one for a serving of honey-drizzled gorgonzola. For a British afternoon, it is the quintessential size for a toasted tea cake or fresh, seasonal berries.
