A handmade bowl earns its place through use: the weight in the hand, the way it holds soup, the slight warmth that ceramic retains after a meal. This one is made in Japan, thrown and glazed individually, and built to last through years of daily use. 宝山窯 is based in Fukuoka, Japan. Each bowl is glazed by hand from start to finish — shaped, glazed, and fired individually, with the rim and surface given the same care as the overall form. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Fukuoka, Japan Artisan: 宝山窯 Size: 11.5 × 5.5 cm (4.5 × 2.2 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
