"Seto Market" starts at Pass the Baton Omotesando store, bringing together Nagae ceramics from Seto, one of Japan's six ancient kilns

Oct 28, 2016

The "Hotel Restaurant Ware Ceramics Market" by ceramics company Nagae kicked off at the PASS THE BATON GALLERY in the Omotesando store from October 27th to November 20th. Nagae, a ceramics company founded in 1908 by porcelain mold maker Nagae Kanematsu, is located in Seto, one of Japan's six oldest kilns, boasting a 1,300-year history. Nagae continues to carry on traditional techniques. This year's "Ceramics Market" showcases deadstock items not featured in catalogs, as well as "B-grade" items that inevitably result from the production process. From luxurious items used in high-end restaurants to casual pieces used in cafes, the market features a wide variety of ceramics, primarily commercial-grade tableware not commonly available in the general market. Workshops where you can create your own original ceramics will also be held from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM on November 5th, 12th, and 19th. You can create one-of-a-kind items by choosing and pasting decorative transfer stickers of fruits, flowers, and more onto mugs and plates.
