kuppi - potion mug
For the hibi "kuppi" series, we dug up the stamps that have been dormant since ancient times in the Takiyo kiln in Arita, changed the stamping method, paint, and texture, and reconstructed them to create a modern design. A stamp shop hand-carves the completed pattern design into a stamp, and a craftsman at the pottery stamps each stamp by hand with a rust glaze. The hand-drawn design is carved by hand and pressed by hand. Due to these three stages of manual work, "variations" occur. hibi considers the ``variations'' that occur due to nature, people, the characteristics of pottery, and work as ``good''. The glaze is not pure white, but beige, and has a richly expressive texture like a quail egg. As a result, a new and nostalgic tableware was born that has the strength and lightness of porcelain, and is comparable to ceramics.

Please pay attention to the following points in order to use Arita ware for a long time.
- All Arita porcelain is handcrafted by craftsmen. Therefore, please note that there may be individual differences and the size, color, composition, etc. may differ slightly from the image.
- This product uses natural Amakusa pottery stone. For this reason, iron content may be unintentionally seen on the surface, but we hope you will enjoy it as a view of the material.
- You can use it in a microwave oven, but please avoid putting it in cold water when the surface is hot, as it may cause cracking.
- You can use it in the dishwasher, but we recommend hand washing as much as possible because the "thin" ones vibrate with water pressure and cause cracks.
- Avoid strong impact as it may cause cracking.
- Please avoid using it over an open flame.
- When washing, please wash with a neutral detergent.
- Depending on your computer monitor, the colors and patterns of the actual product may look different. Thank you for your understanding.

Realita Ceramics Store is a store operated by a wholesaler that deals in ceramics from the Hizen area, mainly Arita ware for over 100 years. Arita ware is a production area with a long history, celebrating 400 years as the birthplace of porcelain in 2016. This is an online store that connects a wide variety of modern lifestyles with Arita ware (Hizen pottery) while paying respect to history, tradition, and all the craftsmen and techniques that support them.
Sustainability
Precious Amakusa clay, the raw material for Arita ware. In order not to waste the finite resources provided by nature, we crush and reuse unsaleable B products produced during the manufacturing process. In addition, for the first time in the production area, we have developed recycled ceramic clay with a rich texture that is blended with iron-rich pottery stone, which is rarely used for Arita ware, which requires whiteness.
