White glaze and lapis lazuli brushed rice bowl

This coarse red clay allows you to enjoy the rough texture and warmth that is unique to ceramic clay. A slightly flowing white glaze with nuance is applied, and then a lapis lazuli glaze is applied on top to create a brushstroke pattern. This rice bowl allows you to enjoy the warmth of red clay and the fresh colors of white and lapis lazuli. The vessel has a soft, rounded appearance, but the base is slightly smaller, giving it a clean appearance. It is deep enough to hold moist rice dishes such as rice with raw egg on top and rice porridge. Not only can you use it for rice dishes, but you can also use it to serve soups and other dishes with a strong dashi flavor, such as thickened tofu. I use a small electric furnace and an electric potter's wheel at home, and all processes, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and firing, are done by hand. It is a little heavy to hold, but that gives it a ceramic feel. Although they cannot be mass-produced, each one has its own unique character, allowing you to enjoy the flavor that comes from being made by hand. The item you will receive will be one of the two items shown in the last product image. (We only have one of each in stock.) You can choose your favorite item while it is in stock. If you have a preference, please let us know at the time of purchase. To minimize damage to the table, the installation surface will be sanded down before delivery. Using various glazes and clays, I create a wide variety of pottery in a variety of colors and shapes, searching for the best combinations. It is impossible to create two identical pieces, so although they may look similar, they are all one-of-a-kind. I would be very happy if you could find your favorite. We hope you enjoy the warm atmosphere created by the clay and glaze as a way to add color to your daily life. ---- *Size and weight* ①Diameter 12.7cm, base diameter 4.7cm, height 6cm, weight 234g ②Diameter 12.4cm, base diameter 4.1cm, height 6.3cm, weight 242g ---- * Purchase and usage precautions - Due to its nature, pottery is absorbent, and in some cases color may stain the crazing or moisture may seep out.
