Japanese Speckled Black Bowl, Ring of Foam

A large dark bowl, where a ring of light glaze seems to float like sea foam.

The interior, black speckled with white, is crossed by a ring of cream glaze with bluish reflections, like a wave drawing back over dark sand.

The exterior shifts from dark grey to brown, with a slightly grainy texture that feels pleasant to the touch. The shades vary from one piece to another.

At 19.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm high, it suits salads, poke bowls, dishes with sauce or pasta.

These natural variations evoke the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, simplicity and natural materials.
