Pottery for Everyday Use

Pottery with Excellent Heat Retention

Both pottery and porcelain are commonly used in daily life, but pottery is generally known for retaining heat better than porcelain.
This is because pottery is less dense and contains countless tiny air pockets within the clay body. These air pockets work much like a down jacket, creating a natural insulating effect.
One traditional example of this characteristic can be found in matcha bowls and donabe clay pots. Even when hot water is poured into a pottery matcha bowl, the surface does not become extremely hot immediately, allowing the bowl to be comfortably held with both hands despite having no handle.

Another unique quality of pottery is that it warms slowly and cools slowly. This makes it especially suitable for serving warm dishes or pouring cold drinks, helping maintain a pleasant temperature for longer.

Enriching Everyday Dining

NINSHU pottery is characterized not only by its wide range of colors — including blue, red, gold, and white — but also by its unique textures reminiscent of glass, natural stone, or dragon scales.
Because of this versatility, NINSHU pieces pair beautifully with many kinds of cuisine, including Japanese, Western, Chinese, and other Asian dishes, enhancing both the presentation and atmosphere of the meal.

Simply transferring an everyday dish onto a different plate can make the food feel a little more delicious and bring a little more happiness to the table.
We invite you to discover pottery that gently enriches everyday life and daily dining.
