Artist: Nobuhiko Tanaka
Area: Iruma, Saitama
Material: Porcelain

If the "Vessels of Color" series is the "A-side" of Nobuhiko Tanaka’s work, then the "Goma-shio-de" (Sesame Salt) series is its captivating "B-side."

This collection leaves a lasting impression with its understated, sophisticated aesthetic. While it possesses the rustic, earthy texture of earthenware—making it effortless to pair with any dish—the body of the piece is surprisingly translucent and remarkably light to the touch.

The underside of the lid is adorned with silver leaf, adding a subtle touch of hidden brilliance. This versatile piece is perfectly suited for use as a small bowl or a teacup.
