This chic magnet is made of authentic Shigaraki ware in the shape of a button and is manufactured by Meizan Gama, one of the world's oldest ceramics companies in Japan. Finished with a simple glaze and fired to perfection, this earthy magnet embodies the Japanese sense of wabi-sabi, or the beauty of rustic simplicity. The magnet is strong enough to hold lightly magnetic objects with ease and makes for an excellent pincushion or needle minder. It can also be used as a decorative magnet.
