Yamagen Toen × Amenoi-e "marais"

The "marais" collection evokes the moistness of a wetland and the elegance reminiscent of European antiques.

Its naturally faint hues, as if the sky and clouds are reflected in a puddle, create a calming atmosphere.
The smooth texture makes food shine, and the soft colors provide a sense of comfort.

Our encounter with "marais" began during a visit to Yamagen Toen, a pottery studio in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture.
With the concept of "updating tradition," they inherit the posture of potters who have responded to the demands of the times, developing and manufacturing Tokoname ware suitable for modern life.

When we asked them to create heat-resistant tableware, they readily agreed and provided us with two shapes—oval and octagonal plates—in two sizes—large serving plates and small individual plates—and in two colors—white and blue.

marais Serving plate

The large serving plate offers greater freedom in plating. Even when used for one-plate meals, the generous empty space on the dish lends a sophisticated atmosphere to the dining table.
For busy people like me, the ease of cleanup compared to using multiple small plates is a perfect advantage.


Two Shapes: Oval and Octagonal

The oval plate can be used in a classic way for any dish, and its rounded shape creates a warm atmosphere, which is its charm.

The moist white plate makes any dish look appealing, so it's perfect not only for main courses but also for carpaccio made with seasonal fish, omelets, hamburgers, and salads with plenty of greens and fruits.

There is a slight slope on the inside of the rim, so you can serve dishes with olive oil or a small amount of liquid without worry.

Each piece is handmade, valuing the natural texture of earthenware.
As a result, every piece has a unique appearance, such as variations in how the glaze is applied.
We hope you enjoy the diverse character of each vessel.

Handling Precautions

・When using for the first time, always wash with water or lukewarm water.
・"Medome" (pre-treatment) can help prevent food colors from seeping in.
・After use, remove dirt promptly and store after drying thoroughly.
・When stacking, place a sheet of tissue paper between items to prevent scratches.
・Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents with abrasives, scouring powder, metal scrubbers, etc., as vigorous scrubbing may scratch the surface. Please wash with a soft sponge.
