Wakahiko Ishikawa
About the object: Wakahiko Ishikawa’s jug is approximately 12 cm tall and has a diameter of 8 cm. The jug, from the Japanese pottery town of Mashiko, is made of high-quality Shigaraki clay—a white clay coated with a transparent glaze. The pure white color harmonizes beautifully with the simple form. The jug can be used for beverages or as a storage container. It is a one-of-a-kind piece.
Manufacturing process: Wakahiko Ishikawa creates tableware, bowls, and vases for everyday use. Whenever possible, the pieces are thrown on a potter’s wheel. Thanks to the use of glaze, the color of his works is consistently very light—almost white—or very dark—almost black. And matte.

- Wakahiko Ishikawa dishes should be washed by hand. Use clear water or at most gentle cleaning agents and no abrasive sponges.
- Dry the vessel carefully after cleaning to avoid water stains.
- Ceramic pots can be rougher on the underside than pots made of other materials. We therefore recommend protecting sensitive surfaces on which the jar is to be placed from scratching if necessary.
Wakahiko Ishikawa, born in Tokyo in 1960 as the eldest son of a sculptor, moved to the ceramics town of Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture in 1990. There he began his work as a ceramist.
