Brand:
Yumiko Iihoshi Porcelain is a brand that beautifully straddles the line between handmade and manufactured products. Founded by Yumiko Iihoshi after her graduation from Kyoto Saga University of Arts, where she majored in porcelain, the brand has been operational since 2007. The philosophy behind Yumiko Iihoshi Porcelain is to create tableware that maintains the uniqueness and personal touch of handmade items while being produced in quantities that cater to a wider audience.
The production process involves a collaboration with artisans from various potteries across Japan, who employ manual techniques to create original colors and shapes for the porcelain pieces. This approach ensures that each piece, while part of a larger collection, retains a distinct handcrafted quality. The individuality of each item is evident in the variations in appearance and glaze, which are considered a hallmark of the brand's porcelain.
Moreover, Yumiko Iihoshi designs and oversees the manufacture of the porcelain tableware, combining the use of molds for uniformity with hand glazing to achieve a balance between consistency and the unique charm of handcrafted items. This meticulous process results in tableware that is not only functional and durable but also aesthetically pleasing, with a clean design that enhances the presentation of food and beverages.
