Takae has a wonderful way of looking at the world. She asks questions with a child like naivety, resulting in egg cups as castles, ceramic horses for the toast soldiers, plates as snails and salt & pepper shakers as boat sails.

Every detail is thought through. The ceramics themselves are beautifully designed and made, the packaging practical for shops and transportation yet deliciously pretty with a tiny leaflet inside describing the design concepts and origins… allowing the new owner to feel connected to Takae's original thoughts.

"The reflection of the sunlight, shape of the masts and smell of the sea inspired me to design this product.

This simple and beautiful salt and pepper shaker is created in Cornwall where my inspiration came from. I hope this tiny boat brings your home a breeze of salty air..."
