Black Cat Match Holder with Striker

From a lump of clay to a finished piece — it’s a patient and carefully sequenced journey.

First, the clay is divided into separate portions to ensure even sizes. Then comes wheel-throwing — the fastest stage of the process, though mastering that speed takes years of practice. Skilled potters are becoming a rare breed — finding a truly good one is not easy anymore.

After throwing, the pieces are dried, then bisque-fired, followed by glazing and hand-painting. Every item is painted by hand, with only a few designs using decals.
The final firing takes place, and at last the dish is ready. Our dishes are fired at a temperature of 1040 degrees. The dishes are very practical and pleasant to use.”
