Duck chopstick rest

Name: Duck chopstick rest
Brand: 銀河釉
Price: 9900 JPY
Availability: OutOfStock

Up until now, it's been all cats, but a duck has secretly made its debut. The Galaxy Glaze comes in a set of 5 colors, representing all the basic colors of spring, summer, autumn, winter, and January. Actually, these chopstick rests are made from a new clay that we are currently experimenting with. The canvas, which produces more vibrant colors than the usual Galaxy Glaze, seems to hold new possibilities for the glaze.

Each piece of Galaxy Glaze is unique, so the patterns on each one are different.

There are no other items with the exact same pattern as the one shown in the product photos.

Therefore, we have set the stock display to show only one item for each item.

Please pay particular attention if you wish to purchase multiple units of the same product.
Products are added as orders are received.

Also, because all Galaxy Glaze products are handmade, the actual size and weight may vary slightly from what is stated.

note that.

However, even if the same glaze is applied, once the kiln is opened the color will be completely different. Since different expressions appear depending on various conditions such as the kiln, climate, and materials used, no two pieces are the same.

The stars in Galaxy Glaze are metal crystals.

Inside the Galaxy Glaze vessel, countless stars appear to shine .

This is a shining metal crystal .

The various metallic elements contained in the glaze are fired at a high temperature of around 1,250 degrees and then crystallized during the slow cooling process .

The crystals scatter light, so they shine differently when viewed indoors and outdoors. When you pour alcohol, water, or other liquids into them, they take on an even more different appearance.

Microwave and oven safe

Because it is fired at high temperatures, it will not crack or deform. You can use it just like regular tableware.

It's okay to scrub it with a scouring pad.

Because the crystals are embedded within the glass layer, there is no need to worry about them flaking off or thinning.

Pottery wheel and tatara making.

When you think of pottery, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the potter's wheel. Most of Gingayu's works are made by the potter Tetsuaki Nakao.

However, some tableware is made using the " Tatara" technique, which involves cutting thin sheets of clay . For example, the cup at the top of this photo is made on a potter's wheel, and the plate at the bottom is made using the Tatara method. Both are handmade, so there may be slight differences in size and curves.
