Animal-Shaped Lidded Container: Silver Java Sparrow
Handling Instructions
[About the Product]
While designed as a lidded container for accessories, it is made of ceramic and is safe for storing food.
However, because ceramics tend to absorb odors and stains, we recommend avoiding the long-term storage of foods with strong colors or pungent aromas.
If you do use it for food, we recommend dry, solid items such as salt, sugar, nuts, or candies.
Additionally, if you plan to store food in it, we recommend rinsing the container with water before use.
[Care Instructions]
For routine care, wash with a sponge and dish soap, then rinse thoroughly.
It is important to dry the item completely after washing.
* Please avoid soaking the item for extended periods.
As the ceramic is highly absorbent, the body of the piece can soak up impurities, potentially leading to mold or stains.

Please note that some aspects, such as shape, distortion, texture, and color, may not be clearly visible in the images.
Please understand in advance that this item is a handmade product, individually crafted by the artist.
There may be some parts where iron spots (black dots) appear, which are caused by the oxidation of iron content in the clay during firing.
Additionally, small indentations (pinholes) may be visible, but these are natural phenomena that occur during the firing process and do not indicate a defective product.
Please enjoy them as part of the item's unique character.
For other details, please refer to the handling instructions.

Hoshina Akiko
Akiko Hoshina of kiku, who creates pottery in Tokyo.
After enrolling in the Spatial Design Department of Musashino Art University Junior College, pottery was one of the things she started because of her desire to "try anything I'm interested in while I'm a student."
After graduating from university, she worked as a flower coordinator, decorating wedding venues and other spaces, and has since adorned many environments.
Later, after her childcare responsibilities settled down, she began attending pottery classes again.
As she spent more time working with clay, her passion for pottery deepened, and she began participating in various events.
In terms of "adorning spaces," she feels that her previous job as a flower coordinator and her current work as a pottery artist are connected.
In her creative process, she constantly researches the characteristics of clay and glazes to bring her endless ideas to life, always striving for new expressions.
The animal lidded vessel series was born from a friend's casual suggestion, "You should make a java sparrow!"
Every piece exudes an adorable charm that can't help but bring a smile to your face.
"I want to create pieces that naturally make people smile and bring a sense of calm to their hearts."
Her works, imbued with this sentiment, bring gentle color and warmth into our lives.
