✨ New Arrival ✨
When people first hear that this glassy blue glaze is made from mandarin orange trees,
they can hardly hide their surprise.
Japanese ceramicists are known for creating glazes from everyday materials,
but even we were amazed when we first learned this story —
who would imagine such a beautiful blue emerging from orange trees?
Kobo Daidai takes its name from “daidai,”
a type of mandarin orange, and also a colour associated with citrus.
This unique glaze was born while caring for an abandoned mandarin farm,
left behind after the family business closed —
transforming what remained into something entirely new.
The stoneware itself is carefully polished to a silky-smooth finish,
irresistible to the touch.
Striking even when simply placed on a shelf,
these pieces quietly draw the eye.
Simple yet vivid, refined yet full of character —
a rare balance of contrasts.
It’s the kind of piece whose unexpected beauty never fails to delight
the person who receives it.
