***Product Description***
This is a Satsuma ware vase by Nagata kiln.

Satsuma Ware / Nagata Klin (薩摩焼 / 永田窯)
Nagata Kiln (Nagata Togei) is a renowned producer of Satsuma ware, a traditional craft of Kagoshima Prefecture.

Satsuma ware generally falls into two main categories, and Nagata Kiln creates captivating pieces that incorporate techniques from both styles.

* **Shiro-Satsuma (White Satsuma):** Characterized by a pale cream-colored body featuring a fine network of cracks (known as *kannyu* or crazing). These elegant, high-quality vessels often feature gold accents and vibrant painted designs; tea sets—including tea bowls, teacups, and teapots—are particularly popular.
* **Kuro-Satsuma (Black Satsuma):** Made from iron-rich clay, this style is distinguished by its jet-black or deep, dark-brown hues. It possesses a rustic yet powerful beauty, with famous examples including the *Kuro-choka* (a traditional Kagoshima vessel for warming shochu), shallow *shochu* cups, and *mizusashi* (water containers for the tea ceremony).

Handling of ceramics （pottery)
*Care for pottery (sealing treatment)*
Starch will coat the surface and prevent stains from seeping into the pottery.
1. Insert the pottery into a pot filled with starch water (from washing rice or corn or potato starch melted in water) and bring it to a boil on low to medium heat. Let it boil for around 20 minutes on low heat.
2. Let it cool down, then rinse, and allow it to dry naturally.
3. If the crevices are not totally filled after one application, you may try again until they are totally filled.

**Prevent Stains, Odors, and Mold**
If you soak the product in clean water before use and let it absorb some of the water, this will reduce the amount of impurities able to penetrate the surface. Pottery products are water absorbent, so if they are left in water for a long time, they may absorb impurities, causing stains, odors, and mold. Please wash the product immediately with detergent and dry well. When storing the container, ensure it is kept sufficiently dry. Insufficient drying may cause an odor or mold growth.
If the product does become stained or smelly, you can remedy this by dissolving baking soda or kitchen bleach in water and soaking the product in it.

***About crazing***
When pottery and porcelain are fired with glaze, a material containing characteristics similar to glass, it not only adds color and texture to the ceramics, but also prevents water absorption and discoloration. Firing at high temperatures allows the glaze to adhere to the ceramic, but as it naturally cools, cracks may appear on the surface. Cracks may also appear when a vessel is suddenly filled with something hot, and the formation of these cracks is called crazing. Physical objects have the property of expanding when heated and contracting when cooled.
Since the ceramic and the glaze have different rates of expansion and contraction, they interfere with each other as the temperature changes, resulting in crazing. Crazing does not mean that the piece is broken or damaged, and there is no impact on its usability, so please do not worry about using it. With continuous use, water and food color will seep through the crazing and give a deeper flavor to the vessel. If you wish to prevent this from happening, you can boil it in water mixed with rice or flour to fill in the cracks before the first usage.
