A large rice bowl with a crystalline glaze that exudes a fragrant earthen taste

The fine-grained, gentle earthy color of red clay is shaped into a softly curved rice bowl, then coated with a crystalline glaze that gives it the earthy color that is characteristic of pottery, and then fired. The crystalline pattern has a rustic yet somehow vibrant color, making this a tasteful piece that will add a touch of color to your dining table. The warm and cozy atmosphere is perfect for rice dishes, but it's also recommended for rich, colorful soups such as burdock or pumpkin potage and cream soups. It is quite a large rice bowl, so it can easily hold rice dishes with a lot of liquid, such as rice with raw egg on top or rice porridge. You can also use it to serve delicious soupy dishes such as fried tofu and jibuni. I use a small electric kiln and an electric potter's wheel at home to make my pottery, and I do all of the processes by hand, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing. The slightly rounded shape, warm texture, and slight weight give it a ceramic feel. Although we cannot mass-produce them, each one has its own unique expression, allowing you to enjoy the flavor that comes from being made by hand. The item you receive will be the same as the product image. The surface that will come into contact with the table will be sanded before delivery. Using various glazes and clays, I create a wide variety of pottery in different colors and shapes, searching for the best combinations. It is impossible to create two identical pieces, so although they may look similar, each piece is unique. I would be very happy if you could find your favorite. We hope you enjoy the warm atmosphere created by the ceramic clay and decorative mud as a way to add color to your daily life. ---- *Size and weight* Size: Diameter 14.5cm, Base diameter 4.2cm, Height 6cm Weight: 257g ---- *Precautions for purchase and use - Due to its nature, pottery is absorbent, and in some cases color may stain the crazing or moisture may seep out.
