Nuance Blue Donburi Bowl with White Accent 1

Crafted from a unique blend of clay, it possesses a rustic texture and a subtle coarseness characteristic of earthenware. Molded into a donburi bowl perfect for the cooler seasons, it's coated in a serene light blue glaze, with a touch of white glaze accenting the finger rests. The result is a piece that beautifully balances a traditional Japanese feel with a touch of modern, playful cuteness. Its generous depth makes it ideal for enjoying 2-3 types of ingredients along with the broth during hot pot meals. Beyond hot pots, it's also perfect for dishes with delicious broths like agedashi tofu or jibu-ni, and even for serving hearty potage soups. Embrace its Japanese charm by using it for traditional sweets such as warabi mochi or shiratama dango. We hope you'll enjoy it with a wide variety of dishes. All pieces are meticulously handcrafted in my home studio, equipped with a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel. From kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, every step is done by hand. While mass production isn't possible, each piece has its own unique character, offering the distinct charm that comes from handmade artistry. The item you receive will be the same as pictured. To ensure it glides smoothly and minimizes scratching on your table, the base has been carefully sanded. I continuously explore new combinations of glazes and clays, creating a diverse range of pottery in various colors and shapes. Each piece is unique, seemingly similar yet truly one-of-a-kind, as exact replication is impossible. It would bring me great joy if you find a piece that speaks to you. May the cozy atmosphere woven by clay and glaze bring a touch of color to your everyday life. ----- *Size and Weight* Diameter: 12.3cm (excluding handle) Base diameter: 5.1cm Height: 5.3cm Weight: 241g ----- *Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of pottery, it may absorb liquids, potentially leading to discoloration in the crazing or seepage of moisture.
