Kaneko Kohyo
A century ago, Kaneko Kohyo fired its first ceramic at a mountain-top kiln in Toki, Japan. Since expanding into tableware 30 years ago, the potter is best known for its Rinka range of charming scalloped porcelain. The dishes have a handcrafted quality and warmth that can’t be duplicated by machine.
