Shallow Bowl in White Glaze with Amber Rim

Fine-grained white earthenware, where the glaze color and texture stand out. A glaze with a beautiful, lustrous white sheen. These elements are combined to create this rounded, shallow bowl. The rim of the bowl is accented with an amber-colored glaze, which has formed flowing patterns during the firing process. This shallow bowl, with its ample depth and a size that fits comfortably in both hands, is an exceptionally versatile piece. Perfect for salads, simmered dishes, stir-fries, soups, and stews. Also ideal for cereal or yogurt. It's also well-suited for rice dishes and noodle dishes like mixed soba. We hope you will enjoy it with a wide variety of your favorite meals. All stages, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are meticulously done by hand in my home studio, which is equipped with a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel. The plump, rounded form, the soft texture, and the slight heft evoke the authentic feel of pottery. While mass production is not possible, each piece possesses its own unique character, offering a charm that comes from being handmade. The item you receive will be the exact piece shown in the product images. The base of the bowl will be sanded to ensure it is gentle on your table surfaces. I explore various combinations of glazes and clays, constantly seeking better pairings, and create a diverse range of pottery in various colors and shapes. Each piece is unique, appearing similar but truly one-of-a-kind, as exact replication is impossible. It would bring me great joy if you could find a piece that resonates with you. I hope you will find a touch of warmth and color in your daily life, woven from the interplay of clay and glaze. ----- *Size and Weight* Diameter: 15.5 cm Base Diameter: 5.4 cm Height: 5.3 cm Weight: 241g ----- *Important Notes for Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of ceramic, it may absorb liquids, and in some cases, colors may seep into the crazing or moisture may appear to seep through.
