A distinctive feature of this piece is the notched foot (Kirikakodai). Historically, potters notched the base to \"damage\" the ware, allowing them to sell these prized pieces to commoners and merchants rather than surrendering them all as tribute to the Mori Lords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCare Instructions\u003cbr\u003e\nHagi ware is \"living\" pottery. Due to the porous nature of the clay, the colors may subtly shift and deepen over years of use—a process the Japanese call the \"Seven Changes of Hagi.\" Hand wash only.\u003cbr\u003e\n_____________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe travel to Japan, East Asia and other countries to source and find the most unique and rare hand made and vintage pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer:\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that all vintage items may show signs of age and wear due to their history.
