Nuance Blue Donburi Bowl with White Accent 3

Crafted from a unique blend of clay that offers a rustic and earthy texture. Shaped into a donburi bowl perfect for the cooler months, it's coated in a serene light blue glaze, with a touch of white glaze accentuating the finger rests. The result is a piece that balances traditional Japanese elegance with a touch of modern, playful cuteness. This donburi bowl features a slightly shallow and wide form. Its size is ideal for those who enjoy dipping ingredients into sauces like ponzu or sesame dressing, savoring each bite. Beyond hot pots, it's also perfect for dishes with delicious broths such as agedashi tofu or Jibuni, or even for serving creamy potage soups. Embracing its Japanese charm, it can also be used to serve traditional sweets like warabi mochi or shiratama dango. We hope you'll enjoy it with a variety of dishes. All stages of production, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are meticulously done by hand in my studio, equipped with a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel. While mass production isn't possible, each piece possesses its own unique character, offering a distinct charm that comes from being handmade. The item you receive will be the same as pictured. To ensure minimal scratching on your table, the base of the bowl has been smoothed with sandpaper. I explore various combinations of glazes and clays, constantly seeking the best pairings, and create a diverse range of ceramics in different colors and shapes. Each piece is unique, seemingly similar yet truly one-of-a-kind, as exact replication is impossible. It would bring me great joy if you find a piece that speaks to you. I hope you'll find delight in the cozy atmosphere woven by the clay and glazes, adding a touch of color to your everyday life. ----- *Size and Weight* Diameter: 12.3cm (excluding handle) Base diameter: 5cm Height: 5cm Weight: 231g ----- *Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of ceramic, it may absorb liquids, potentially leading to glaze crazing discoloration or moisture seepage.
