Large Japanese Black Bowl, White Brushstroke

A large dark bowl crossed by a broad white stroke, like a brushstroke.

The finely speckled black glaze is crossed on the inside by a broad touch of white that evokes a stroke of calligraphy. Towards the rim, brown and grey streaks circle the bowl.

This stroke recalls the aesthetic of sumi-e, Japanese ink painting, which seeks to capture the essential in a few gestures.

At 22 cm in diameter and 8 cm high, this bowl suits ramen, salads, noodles or dishes to share.

Its dark colour brings out a clear broth or a colourful salad, for a table with strong character.
