Variation:
No Two Pieces Are Exactly Alike. Due To The Organic Nature Of This Type Of Porcelainware, There Are Unavoidable Variations, Color Unevenness, And What Hasami Craftspeople Call “Staining” In The Appearance Of All Hasami Porcelain Products. These Variations Are The Result Of Uncontrollable Chemical Reactions Between The Glaze And The Raw Materials During The Extreme Firing Process When Producing Hasami Porcelain.
