Large Japanese Bowl, Blue-Green on Sandy Base

A tall bowl where a blue-green glaze flows over a speckled sandy base.

The top of the bowl is covered with a thick blue-green glaze, which pulls back into small islands and lets the clay show through. Towards the foot, it melts into a sandy beige speckled with brown.

The interior picks up the same shades. This living glaze, different on every piece, gives the bowl an authentic, rustic character.

Deep, at 16.4 cm in diameter and 10.4 cm high, it suits soups, ramen, donburi or a large café au lait.

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