A large rice bowl with a soft earthen taste and white brushed finish

The fine-grained, soft-tasting red clay is shaped into a softly curved rice bowl, then a brushed pattern is applied with white decorative mud before it is coated with a glossy transparent glaze and fired. The color of the clay peeking through the white brush strokes gives the piece a gentle, warm feel. The warm and cozy atmosphere is perfect for rice dishes, but it's also recommended for rich, colorful soups such as burdock and pumpkin potage. 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, and you can 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. Please note that this product is finished with a transparent glaze and white decorative clay, so if moisture from food soaks into the crazing, it may become noticeable. For this reason, we recommend that you either add the waterproofing treatment option when ordering, or seal the pores yourself before use. For customers who do not require the waterproofing treatment option, we will include a card with instructions on how to seal the pores, so we hope you will take a look at it. 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 14.8cm, Base diameter 4.7cm, Height 5.7cm Weight: 262g ---- *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. For this reason, we ship products after performing a water-stopping treatment using a water-stopping agent for tableware, so there is no need to seal the pores. The waterproofing treatment takes 2-3 days, so please allow 5 days from the time of order to shipping. If you do not need the waterproofing agent, please let us know at the time of purchase. - It appears whiter in fluorescent or morning light, and more yellowish in evening light or under incandescent light. - We try to photograph and edit product images as accurately as possible to make them appear as real as possible, but they may appear differently depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions. ・As this product is also sold on other websites, in the unlikely event that there are multiple purchases, we will deliver to the person who made the purchase first.
