[UTSUWABI special order] Rice bowl round pottery Sankirai Pottery Shigaraki ware

Modern utensils that fit into your daily life

This rice bowl has a unique blue pattern that catches the eye. A textile-like design with circles lining the torso from a high base. The contrast of powdered white and blue gives a refreshing impression. When you turn it over, you can see a cute expression that looks like a flower has bloomed. When you pick it up, the moist, matte texture feels comfortable.

Not only for rice but also for soup

Enjoy fluffy, freshly cooked, glossy rice in your favorite bowl. It may seem like nothing, but it was a very happy moment. The deep shape seems to be useful when eating Ochazuke. You can also use it as a soup bowl by adding potage or minestrone. The great thing about it is that it has a modern look and naturally matches any type of cuisine.

Things you should know before purchasing

What creates the expression of pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇You may be able to see the book. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Shigaraki ware

This ceramic is produced around Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan. The rustic texture of the earth is appealing, making full use of the richness of nature. Because they use strong china clay, they are good at making large pottery like raccoon dog ornaments.
