Kei NAKANE

Kei Nakane

A new form of handmade pottery that stays close to the user.

Kei Nakane's pottery is handcrafted, comfortable to use, and designed to fit seamlessly into both current and future lifestyles.

The smooth feel against your lips, how well it fits in your hand, its weight balance, and how your fingers grip it—because these are items used daily, great care is taken to ensure that small sense of comfort when you pick them up.

Compatible with microwaves, dishwashers, and ovens, these pieces offer the warmth of handmade craftsmanship while being convenient enough for everyday dining.

Whether you're having tea, enjoying a meal, or taking a moment to relax, we invite you to enjoy these pieces as tools for living that bring people together.
