Description
I am Anagama No. 33 Ochre Katakuchi. Perfectly curved, effortlessly cool, despite being through the fire. You’ll love how I pour—smooth and easy, like I’ve been doing this forever.
Curator’s Notes
This Katakuchi is one of those pieces that just feels right in your hand. Its warm, earthy tones, shaped by the Anagama kiln, are only enhanced by its rounded form that fits snugly in the palm. What we love most is how effortlessly it pours—with a gentle, steady flow that makes it perfect for sake, sauces, or even a special drink. The ash-kissed surface adds unpredictable texture, giving it a unique character that’s both functional and a joy to admire. It’s one of those pieces that balances charm and elegance beautifully.
