[About the product]
Marianne Harberg x Seto Yaki
Five major works of Marianne Harberg are released simultaneously in collaboration with Seto ware after six years of trial and error! Her original work is attractive because of the hand -drawn line, and a slightly distorted molding and thinness. However, it was also true that I couldn't make a lot at once because of the handmade, and I couldn't deliver it widely to everyone. Therefore, this time, Tonkachi and Marianne are looking for mass production after leaving the original goodness as much as possible, and the pottery of Seto -yaki, Aichi Prefecture, has continued since the Taisho era. This is the Seto -yaki version of "Check Cup" of Marianne's masterpiece "Check Cup". Her popular works have become easier to deliver at hand. At the bottom is the engraving of "TONKACHI / MADE IN JAPAN".
[About Marianne's Seto ware collaboration]
Under the supervision of Marianne himself, a product that has been completed by reviewing the manufacturing process from Zero with the Seto -ya Kodo workshop in Japan so that she can provide affordable prices and durability while leaving her original goodness as much as possible. The pottery, which is the ideal partner with Marianne, is one of the potters that represents Seto -yaki, which has continued since the Taisho era.
[Design]
Her unique blue called Marianne Blue. The blue bleeding and the texture of the pottery are delicately reproduced in Seto ware, and it is a finished product only with Japanese traditional technologies. The original "check cup" is about 3mm thick, whereas the Seto -yaki version is about 4mm thick. With a slight thickness, the weight was about 40g plus, and the durability was improved. The compact feeling and the moderate weight when you hold it in your hand is the comfort that you want to use every day. As with the original, it is a slightly smaller 180ml than a general mug.
