Shallow Bowl with Gold and Silver Accented Red Camellia (a)

This is a shallow bowl featuring a deep red camellia, inspired by the garden visible from the pottery studio window during winter. The vibrant camellia, painted with flair against a subdued black glaze, creates a piece that evokes both Japanese beauty and the essence of the season. Crafted from Shigaraki clay on a potter's wheel, this shallow bowl is adorned with hand-painted deep red camellias, meticulously applied layer by layer before firing. The glazes, mixed in-house, are chosen for their fired color, harmonizing with the natural hues of the flowers. Gold and silver accents are added to enhance the camellia's splendor. The application of gold and silver is technically demanding, requiring careful control of temperature and humidity during the process. This piece can be used to grace celebratory occasions and moments of hospitality. It also makes for a thoughtful gift. You can enjoy its deepening character with continued use.
