These graters have an earthy organic feel that is so beautiful and timeless. This comes from a technique called Kohiki, where a white slip is layered on the dark clay before firing. This gives the finished glaze a layered color of white, grey, and a pinkish hue called Gohonte. 

Substantial in weight, these can easily be gripped while grating. And, the handle can be used to hang them when not in use. The small has a lip/spout on one end.

• Small grater measures approx. 4 1/2" W x 5 3/8" L (including the handle and lip) 5/8" H.
• Large grater measures approx. 4 1/2" W x 8 1/2" L (including the handle) x 5/8" H.
• Ceramic.
• Hand wash. Absorbs moisture easily. Therefore, dry well immediately after washing.
• Made in Japan.

Please note: Japanese pottery sometimes has a technique called "crazing," which intentionally adds hairline cracks to the shiny top coat of the glaze. Crazing is not a defect.  These have a slight amount of crazing.
