[Mizuki x Furutani Seitosho] Iron Glaze Shallow Bowl 21cm/8.3in | Serving Bowl

Collaboration with cooking expert Mizuki

This is a shallow bowl created in collaboration with Mizuki, a popular cooking expert known for her recipes. It has a wonderful texture unique to Kohiki pottery and exudes a rustic warmth.The scattered iron specks and the slight redness called gohonte are also key features. Mizuki has always been a fan of Furutani Seitosho's pottery. The size and shape were born from her suggestion: 'I want a shallow bowl that’s not too big and can be used for everything from simmered dishes to rice bowls! The engraving on the back is an original design, exclusive to this collaboration.Its timeless appearance makes it a piece you'll want to use daily for years to come.

A Versatile Item That Enhances Any Dish

Top it with crispy fried chicken and a squeeze of lemon!The perfect size for a main side dish or salad for 1 to 2 people.   For a solo lunch, why not enjoy it with pasta or Tenshin rice? As Mizuki says, it can be used in a wide variety of ways, from stews to rice bowls.

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 differences] Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied one by one 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The cracked pattern in the makeup mud is a natural phenomenon, and there is no problem with using it. 〇Larger pinholes may be seen as shown in the photo.
〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Furutani Seitosho Koichi Furutani

Born in 1979 in Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture
2004 Started making pottery at Furutani Seitosho Special "Kohiki tableware"
We work hard every day to create "Kohiki tableware" that are classy and warm, complementing any dish. We are also particular about the soil we use, and use our own unique soil for potter's wheel and tatara molding. The surface is molded from red clay, coated with white mud, glazed and fired. To make it comfortable to use and microwave safe, it is not coated with any chemicals or liquid ceramics after firing. Instead, by repeating the firing process called "honyaki" twice, the product is made more durable and of a quality that can be used safely in daily life.

Thoughts on items
"The most important time in daily life" It's a time when families gather together to eat dinner and relax while drinking tea or coffee. In order to make that time more fulfilling, we strive to create pottery that can gently accompany people's lives. "Kohiki" is a white with a gentle expression. It's a simple white that complements any dish and can be used every day. In addition, the gentle, rustic earthiness that appears beneath the surface of the pottery gives it a great depth of pottery. We would be most happy if you could use and enjoy the warmth of our Japanese tableware in your daily life.
