Yuichi Romita Ceramics
Malmö-based ceramicist Yuichi Romita crafts wheel-thrown tableware, left unglazed to honour the clay’s natural character. Rooted in the Nanban Yakishime pottery style, each piece is wheel-thrown and wood-fired, resulting in a distinctive form and finish.
An unglazed stoneware tea cup, crafted by New Maker Yuichi Romita. Shaped on the wheel and wood-fired, each form carries natural variation in tone and texture.
Based in Malmö, Sweden, Yuichi draws on techniques honed during a four-year ceramics apprenticeship in Japan. His elegant, functional tableware reflects an intentional balance of tradition and innovation.
This item is part of our New Makers programme. In its eighth year, five makers demonstrating excellence in skill, originality and craftsmanship have been chosen by a TOAST panel. We offer a platform to sell their pieces as well as mentoring until the end of this year, with full profits being returned to them.
Details
Stoneware. Each piece is wood-fired, resulting in a natural variation in tone and surface. Subtle changes may emerge with use, reflecting its material and making. Wash gently with warm water. A small amount of mild detergent can be used if necessary. Allow to dry fully before storing. Avoid leaving liquids inside for extended periods. Not suitable for dishwasher or microwave use.

Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.
Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.
How to wash
Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
How to dry & store
Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.
Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
