The clay is coarse and consists of a high level of pre-historic fossilized microorganisms that leave the clay porous when fired. With this effect, when Iga-yaki (Iga-style) pottery is crafted by artisanal hands, it creates the signature wabi-sabi (“unfinished beauty”) look. This exceptional wabi-sabi beauty of Iga-yaki pottery has been praised by pottery lovers in Japan over centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki pottery by Nagatani-en\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIga-yaki pottery is one of Japan’s most highly-regarded traditional ceramics, and is said to have originated in Iga, Mie-Prefecture in late 7th Century. This product is made by a leading producer of Iga-yaki pottery since 1832. At Nagatani-en, each product is made by hand with care. Nagatani-en’s Iga-yaki products have been loved by both professionals and home cooks in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour authentic Iga-yaki pottery develops its character as it ages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Iga-yaki tableware or pottery can develop its character as you use it over time. The color and texture could change slightly, or tiny crackles (\"kannyu\") could develop inside. These are all the welcoming characteristics of Iga-yaki's historic wabi-sabi beauty, and we hope you enjoy using this pottery for a very long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"content2\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the Iga-yaki products made by Nagatani-en are hand-crafted with care, so every piece is unique and no two pieces are identical. There are slight variations within the color\/ shade, shape\/ curve, and patterns, among pieces, and that makes each piece so special. Also under different lighting and angle, the actual color shade and nuance may also appear slightly different from the photos in the product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJar\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 5.3” diameter x 5.5” high | 13.5 cm diameter x 14 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 1 qt | 1,000 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.4 lbs | 2 kg – total, including weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight for Pickling\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.4 lbs | 650 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Clay\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Nagatani-en\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Iga, Japan\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in the package: Jar with lid, weight, and English instruction sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only.
