Colorful and rustic clay bowls

This slightly coarse clay has a pale brown color and a rustic, warm feel. After shaping it into a round bowl shape, colorful decorative mud is used to create patterns. Dark green, yellow and orange. It evokes the image of the snow starting to melt, the ground becoming moist and the grass and flowers sprouting and blooming into small flower lover. The title "Tsuchinoshou Uruoi Okoru" is one of the 72 seasonal phases and refers to the season when "warm spring rain falls in place of snow, moistening the earth that has become hard from the cold." I think the season that is painted on the vessels might be a little further in the future, but perhaps because of the simplicity of the clay I used, I felt that this word really suited me, so I chose this season. The plump shape is gentle, and when you wrap it around you, the soft curves fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. The bowl is large, so you can put plenty of drink in it. The simple and warm texture goes well with Japanese tea, roasted green tea, and matcha, and it makes a great companion for relaxing moments together with Japanese sweets and dried confectioneries. Of course, it can also be used for drinks such as coffee and tea, as well as soup. I would be very happy if this small item could help you relax and unwind. 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 10.5cm, Base diameter 5cm, Height 7.8cm Weight: 258g ---- *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.
