Jar — Hand-Formed Japanese Pottery by Motoyuki Tonoike Teacup Artisan: Jun KatoHand formed and finished by Motoyuki Tonoike, this piece is hand formed jar. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed that is the hand of the maker. Material: Japanese pottery (ceramic) Artisan: Motoyuki Tonoike Size: 20 16. 5 cm Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
