Matsuoka Mizuki idded container

This is a lidded container by Mizuki Matsuoka. It's perfect for storing tea leaves, sweets, and more. It's a beautiful, uniquely tactile piece made from polished unglazed porcelain. Matsuoka's works are characterized by their quiet, sculptural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted, valuing the expansive interior, the way it feels in the hand, and the beauty of negative space. He creates unglazed pieces that highlight the natural expression of the clay itself, and ash-glazed pieces that change with use. Among his creations, the series featuring white vessels with silver gilding is particularly striking for its delicate beauty. Precautions for Use: Sealing: Tea stains may occur. Sealing is recommended for maintaining cleanliness.
