KUMI Teapot, fungi

The new tabletop range created by the blomus design team has not only typical Japanese shapes that show the minimalist design language which fits so well with the blomus approach of designing everyday objects. It also has a fascinating -but very traditional Japanese- reactive glazing. This effect glazing comes out different with every firing, and reacts on the slightest variations of oxygen in the kiln atmosphere. Nevertheless these stoneware dishes are dishwasher and microwave safe. This semi-matt finished glaze may have dots and imperfections, may scratch, as it is a very soft surface- nevertheless it is no damage, it is just part of this sophisticated approach. This is why it is called Kumi, which takes its name from the Japanese word for eternal beauty.
