When ordering multiple tableware items to make a set, can I choose products with the exact same color tone or size?

Customers looking to purchase tableware or teacups as a set naturally expect uniformity when placing them side by side on the dining table. When buying multiple ceramic pieces, they want to gauge the extent of the differences between items.

hmmm editorial answer

Due to the kiln-firing process, the color tone and size vary slightly for each individual piece, and even if you order multiple items, they are shipped at random without being sorted to match specifications.

What do h+ (H-plus), ENZO, and Has, written in HORIE TOUKI's tableware introductions, refer to respectively?

When looking at HORIE TOUKI's ceramics, the English labels attached to each product differ, making one wonder whether these are sizes or separate lineups.

hmmm editorial answer

These three names are three brand lines that HORIE TOUKI, which handles ceramics planning and distribution, independently develops according to collaboration methods with external creators.

Why is the bottom rim of the rice bowl unglazed?

When holding the bottom of the bowl, you may wonder if the finish is incomplete because the rough texture of the clay touches your fingertips, unlike the smooth upper surface.

hmmm editorial answer

The bottom surface of the rice bowl is finished without glaze, so the rough texture inherent to clay can be felt, and this varies slightly from product to product.
