Large Japanese Salad Bowls, Black and Green – Set of 2

Two large flared salad bowls, black on the outside, with a luminous green heart.

The lightly speckled black glaze covers the wide, flared rim. In the centre it gives way to a deep, almost turquoise green that radiates outwards in fine streaks. The effect recalls a pool of water seen from above, or the surface of a pond in a Japanese garden.

The transition between black and green is gentle, with areas where the two glazes blend. These nuances vary slightly from one bowl to the other, giving each its own character.

At 28.5 cm in diameter and 8 cm high, they are perfect for presenting a salad, pasta, a vegetable dish, fruit or a dessert to share. Their wide, shallow shape shows off the presentation.

Placed in the middle of the table, they become serving dishes in their own right, as decorative as they are practical.
