Tokoname Ware Polka Dot Tumbler – Red Sale price$82.00 AUD

Size: Approx. 8 cm × 11 cm

Handcrafted by Kenji Touen in Tokoname, one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, this tumbler embodies the quiet elegance of Japanese craftsmanship.
Created using the nerikomi technique, layers of differently colored clay are naturally swirled and carved to reveal organic circular patterns. Each piece is unique — no two patterns are ever the same.

The tall, gently flared form feels balanced in the hand, suitable for both hot and cold drinks. Over time, the fine Tokoname clay develops a rich patina, enhancing its natural beauty with each use.

 

Takumi Hotta  堀田 拓見

1970s The predecessor Kenji Hotta established Kenji Toen.
2017 After the death of Kenji, his son Takumi Hotta took over the business, producing tea utensils using the traditional Tokoname marbled pottery technique.

Tokoname Ware (常滑焼) originates from Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture, and is celebrated as one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns (日本六古窯), with a pottery history that stretches back over 900 years.
The region’s rich, fine-grained clay — known for its natural warmth and durability — allows artisans to create vessels that are both functional and deeply expressive.

Tokoname potters are known for their mastery of hand-thrown forms, natural ash glazes, and the nerikomi (練り込み) technique, where clays of different colors are layered and shaped to reveal marbled or patterned surfaces.
Each piece reflects the wabi-sabi spirit of Japanese craftsmanship — beauty found in simplicity, imperfection, and the passage of time.

Over the years, Tokoname Ware has evolved from producing traditional teapots and storage jars to contemporary tableware and art pieces that harmonize beautifully with modern living.

At Seifuu Creations, we take pride in offering high-quality ceramic products, including both handcrafted and machine-made pieces. While we strive for consistency, slight variations in color, size, weight, texture, and glaze may occur due to the nature of ceramic production. These natural variations, especially in handmade items, highlight the craftsmanship and uniqueness of each piece and are not considered defects.
