The box is hand crafted in Japan and is specially designed for storing fine ceramic ware safely. It is an important attribute of studio ceramic vessels that the box itself serves as a certificate of authenticity.
Made of solid paulownia wood, signed and stamped on the lid by the artist. Thick flat-woven cotton cords are attached to the raised base to prevent accidental opening of the lid.
The item is wrapped in a cotton cloth.
About Maker
Haga Ryuichi is a self-taught potter who lives in the ceramics town of Mashiko in Japan. Digging local soil and minerals for the clay bodies and glazes of his pieces, firing in a self-built kiln, each process needs time and labour yet is essential for him. He sees this whole journey itself as part of the making of his art of fired earth.
