Golden-Yellow To-Sui Bowl 1

Crafted from a uniquely blended clay, it embodies the rustic simplicity and subtle texture characteristic of earthenware. Shaped into a to-sui bowl perfect for the cooler months, it's fired with a golden-yellow crystalline glaze that highlights its earthy feel. The rounded, plump form blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with an undeniable cuteness, creating a truly charming vessel. With its generous depth, it's ideal for enjoying 2-3 types of ingredients along with the broth during hot pot meals. Beyond hot pots, it's also wonderful for dishes with flavorful broths like agedashi tofu or jibu-ni, and even for serving rich potage soups. Embrace its Japanese charm by using it for traditional sweets such as warabi mochi or shiratama dango. We hope you'll enjoy it with a wide variety of dishes. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, from the initial clay preparation and shaping to the bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, using a small electric kiln and potter's wheel in my home studio. While mass production isn't possible, each item possesses its own unique character, offering a distinct charm that comes from being handmade. The item you receive will be the one shown in the product images. The base has been carefully sanded to minimize any potential scratching on your table. I continuously explore new combinations of glazes and clays, creating a diverse range of ceramics in various colors and forms. Each piece is unique, appearing similar but truly one-of-a-kind. It brings me great joy when someone finds a piece that truly resonates with them. I hope you'll find a touch of warmth and comfort in the interplay of clay and glaze, adding a touch of everyday beauty to your life. ----- *Dimensions and Weight* Diameter: 12cm (excluding handle) Base diameter: 5cm Height: 5.1cm Weight: 230g ----- *Important Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of pottery, it may absorb liquids, potentially leading to staining within crazing or slight moisture seepage.
