Large glazed Japanese bowls – Set of 2, 2 glazes to choose from

Two large bowls, in two glazes.

Kairagi: shades of earth brown and sand, as if weathered by time, crossed by freely drawn black strokes. In Japan, kairagi refers to a glaze that crawls during firing and forms a scaly surface, likened to the ray skin that adorned sword scabbards.

Plum brown Tobashi: a deep plum brown, speckled with small light flecks, like a starry night or splashes of ink. The tobashi decoration, literally "splashed", is obtained by spattering the glaze with a flick of the brush: each bowl is therefore different.

Their slightly irregular rim softens the silhouette. At 15 cm in diameter and 9.5 cm high, these are tall bowls for soups, noodles or a large bowl of rice.

They come from the Toki-Tajimi region, Gifu Prefecture, home of Mino ceramics.

For rice, soups, noodles or salads. Made in Japan.
