A warm bowl made of red clay and white glaze / Great for matcha, soup, cafe au lait, etc.

This coarse red clay allows you to enjoy the warmth and rough texture that is unique to ceramic clay. White glaze with a smooth luster and a slightly flowing nature typical of Japanese tableware. I created a cafe au lait bowl that combines these two elements. It is made in a large, generous size so that you can hold it in both hands and enjoy matcha tea. Because it is white in color, you can enjoy the color even if you pour a clear drink such as sencha tea into it. The warm atmosphere of pottery goes well with milky cafe au lait, matcha, and potage soup. I would be delighted if you could enjoy a relaxing time with a variety of drinks. I use a small electric kiln and an electric potter's wheel at home to make my pottery, and all processes, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are done by hand. 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 comes into contact with the table will be sanded down 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 clay and glaze as a way to add color to your daily life. ---- *Size and weight* Size: Diameter 11.9cm, Base diameter 5.3cm, Height 7.2cm Weight: 267g ---- *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.
