Red Clay and White Glazed Rice Bowl

Crafted with coarse red clay, this rice bowl captures the rustic, heartwarming warmth characteristic of earthenware. It features a white glaze that brings a smooth, glossy finish with the subtle, flowing quality typical of traditional pottery. With a diameter of just under 12cm, it is slightly larger than the typical size for women and slightly smaller to standard for men. The use of coarse clay reveals the raw texture of the earth, enhancing its rustic, cozy appeal. This bowl complements ingredients harvested from the soil, making it a natural fit for dishes like mixed grains, sweet potato rice, chestnut rice, or five-ingredient rice. We hope you enjoy using it with a variety of seasonal ingredients. Each piece is made by hand in a home studio equipped with a small electric kiln and potter’s wheel, covering every step from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing. Its plump, rounded form, tactile texture, and gentle weight reflect the true essence of pottery. While we cannot mass-produce these items, each piece possesses its own unique character, showcasing the charm of handmade craftsmanship. The item you receive will be the exact one shown in the product photos. The base is polished with a file before shipment. We continuously explore different combinations of glazes and clays to create a variety of shapes and colors. Since it is impossible to create two identical pieces, each item is truly one-of-a-kind. It would bring us great joy if you find a piece that you love. We hope the cozy atmosphere created by the blend of clay and glaze adds a touch of beauty to your daily life. ----- *Size and Weight* ・Diameter: 11.8cm, Base diameter: 4.1cm, Height: 6.2cm ・Weight: 195g ----- *Purchase and Usage Notes* ・Due to the porous nature of pottery, liquids can occasionally seep through or stains may develop within the crackle glaze over time. To prevent this, we treat all items with a food-safe sealant before shipping, so there is no need to perform your own seasoning. As this process takes 2–3 days, please allow 5 days from your order date for shipment. If you prefer your item without this sealant, please let us know at the time of purchase. ・While we make every effort to ensure product photos accurately represent the items, their appearance may vary slightly depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions. ・As these items are also sold on other platforms, if two orders for the same item occur, the priority will go to the customer who completes the purchase process first. ・This bowl is microwave (reheating only) and dishwasher safe, but high-frequency vibrations or exposure to very hot water may accelerate wear. We recommend avoiding these when possible. ・Do not use in an oven or over an open flame. ・After use, please wash thoroughly and ensure the bowl is completely dry before storing it to prevent stains or mold.
