Colorful rice bowls: the joy of the beginning of spring

This slightly coarse clay has a pale brown color and a rustic, warm feel. After shaping the rice bowl into a gently curved shape, colorful decorative mud is used to create patterns. The vibrant colours chosen were inspired by the colours of spring: pale and dark green, bouncy yellow and orange. The finished product was cuter, brighter and more cheerful than I expected. The title "The Joy of the Beginning of Spring" comes from the scenery created by the simplicity of the earth and its colorful makeup. The edges of the vessels are accented with an underglaze paint called sabi. The simple earthy flavor harmonizes well with leafy vegetables, root vegetables, and other ingredients grown in the soil. Not only white rice, but also mixed grain rice and seasoned rice. The bright colors of corn rice and green pea rice go well with the colors of the makeup. In addition to being suitable for rice dishes, it can also be used as a soup bowl or a bowl for stews. Please enjoy it with a variety of dishes. I have an electric pottery kiln and an electric wheel at home, and I do all of the processes by hand, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and firing. 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. To avoid damaging your table as much as possible, the installation surface will be sanded down before delivery. In addition, we will waterproof this vessel before shipping it to you, so there is no need to seal the pores. Once you receive it, you can use it immediately after washing it lightly. 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 and cozy atmosphere created by the ceramic clay and decorative mud as a way to add color to your daily life. ---- *Size and weight* Size: Diameter 12.6cm, Base diameter 4.5cm, Height 6cm Weight: 219g ---- *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.
