Pouring Jug – Inyo Series #01

Calm, balanced, and full of quiet contrast.
Each pouring jug from the Inyo Series carries that beautiful play between light and dark — glossy tenmoku flowing into clear glaze over warm toffee clay. The transition feels alive, almost like melted chocolate meeting sunlight.

Perfect for gravy at Christmas dinner, warm sauces, or milk for your morning coffee — it’s one of those little pieces that brings both function and beauty to the table. After the meal, it looks just as lovely left out on a shelf or counter, catching the light.

Why You’ll Love It

This jug captures the essence of the Inyo Series — balance in contrast. The rich tenmoku tones melt into the clear glaze, creating smooth transitions and subtle movement unique to every pour.

It’s small, versatile, and full of warmth — just as fitting for a cozy Christmas table as it is for everyday use throughout the year.

About the Inyo Series

The Inyo Series began as a quiet experiment. I was curious what might happen if I dipped each piece in two different glazes — one dark and rich tenmoku, the other soft and transparent clear glaze. The result reminded me of a landscape: layered, spontaneous, and full of contrast.

“Inyo” is the Japanese word for yin and yang — and this series reflects that idea in both form and finish. Where the two glazes meet, something new and unexpected always appears. Some flows are bold, others gentle — each piece completely unique.

Every item in the series is made slowly and intuitively by hand. The variation in the glazes gives them a sense of quiet movement, and a presence that goes beyond function.

A Little About IKKAI Ceramics

Every piece you see here is handmade by me in my studio. I named my brand "IKKAI," which means "one time," because no two pieces are ever exactly the same. The name also reflects something personal—my studio is on the first floor, where every unique creation comes to life.
