Bowl with Gold and Silver Accented Red Camellia c

This bowl features a depiction of a vibrant red camellia, inspired by the garden visible from the pottery studio's window in early winter. The rich red camellia blossoms beautifully against the subdued black glaze, creating a piece that evokes Japanese aesthetics and the essence of the season. Crafted using Shigaraki clay on a potter's wheel, this vessel showcases a hand-painted red camellia, meticulously colored layer by layer before firing. Finished with fine clay, it is light and easy to handle. The glazing, mixed in our studio, is carefully considered to complement the natural colors of the flowers, with gold and silver accents adding a touch of elegance to the camellias. The petals feature a beautiful, characteristic crackling known as kanyū. The application of gold and silver is technically demanding, requiring careful control of temperature and humidity during the crafting process. Its simple design makes it easy to pair with other tableware, and it makes a thoughtful gift. This piece can also be used to enhance the ambiance of celebratory occasions, intimate gatherings, or as a decorative accent in your home. You can also enjoy how its depth deepens with use.
