Glazed and fired by hand, this bowl carries the quiet character of something made individually — the surface not perfectly uniform, the form shaped by a hand rather than a machine. It holds heat well, sits well on any table, and improves with daily use. Kosai Kiln forms and glazes each bowl by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to receive full attention. The result is a bowl made to hold food well — and to be noticed on the table. 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 Japan Artisan: Kosai Kiln Size: 7 × 5 cm (2.8 × 2.0 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
