Craft Ishikawa Milk Pan | Fireproof Ceramic

Craft Ishikawa of Mie Prefecture makes ceramics the way they’ve always been made — by hand, with fireproof clay, and with a quiet confidence that the simple things are usually the best things. This milk pan is as useful as it is easy to live with: boil water for tea, warm milk for a sleepy child, use it on the stove, in the oven, in the microwave. It does not care. Those small variations in glaze and shading aren’t imperfections — they’re proof someone made this for you specifically.
