Bowl with Silver Leaf Autumn Grass Pattern

This is a bowl depicting pampas grass and bellflowers swaying in the wind in the pottery studio's garden. It's a piece that allows you to feel the beauty of Japan and the changing seasons within its understated elegance. This piece is crafted using Shigaraki clay, lightly finished on a potter's wheel, with autumn grasses carefully hand-painted and gradually colored, then fired multiple times. The pampas grass, rendered in silver, adds a touch of splendor to the bowl's subdued tones. Painting with silver is technically challenging, requiring careful management of temperature and humidity during the process. The base has been designed to minimize scratching tabletops. Finally, the entire surface is polished with sandpaper for a smooth finish. With its simple design and calm colors, this vessel makes food stand out beautifully. It can be widely used for various purposes, such as a matcha bowl, a rice bowl, or for serving soup. It also makes a delightful gift. You can also enjoy how its depth increases with use. Diameter 11.0cm, Height 7.5cm, Weight 200g, Capacity 250cc * Not suitable for microwave, dishwasher, oven, cleanser, or nylon scrubbers.
