Japanese Bowls, Deep Green Shinryokyu – Set of 4

Four bowls in a speckled deep green, in forest tones.

The glaze blends olive green, brown and lighter flecks in a dense speckle that recalls moss or undergrowth. Inside, it takes on brighter reflections that change with the light.

The conical shape on a narrow foot gives each bowl a slender silhouette, typical of Japanese noodle and donburi bowls.

The name of the series, Shinryokyu, evokes shinryoku, the green of young leaves at the beginning of summer, a colour much loved in Japan. This natural colour pairs easily with wood, linen or light tableware.

At 16 cm in diameter and 8 cm high, these bowls suit noodles, soups, rice with toppings or salads.
