This handled bowl features a smooth texture and a beautiful interplay of two contrasting glazes.
The layered colors reveal remarkable depth, shifting in expression with changes in light and viewing angle.
Its striking handle lends a strong presence to the piece while inspiring creative and elegant food presentation.

Perfect for showcasing seasonal dishes throughout the year, it also offers the versatility to display a simple floral arrangement, revealing yet another facet of its quiet beauty.
A piece with generous space for both use and imagination.

*As each piece is entirely handmade, variations in size, shape, glaze application, and color may occur and may differ from the photographs shown.

*We recommend preparing the vessel before use:
soak it in warm water for hot dishes or in cold water for chilled dishes.

*The glaze is sensitive to acidic ingredients such as vinegar;
during the initial period of use, avoid prolonged contact with such foods.

*At first, you may notice a pale, powdery surface;
with repeated use and absorption of water,
it will gradually deepen into a rich, lustrous black.
