hiiro Ceramic Water Carafe

The hiiro Ceramic Water Carafe is yet another classy example of old-meets-new in Japanese design. Product designer Shizuka Tatsuno has teamed up with Daikura, a bizen-yaki pottery studio. The result of this collaboration is a stunning and very practical ceramic carafe especially made for water. Take a sip of water from the hiiro and taste the difference: smoother, richer, and more delicious. There is an old Japanese saying: "water does not spoil in Bizen-ware water jugs." The hiiro proves it right, harnessing the qualities of the Bizen clay to transform the flavor of H2O. Available in red or gray, the carafe also has a charming, rustic texture that offers a truly organic sense of the potter's hands that shaped it.
