Matsuoka Mizuki: Bowl

This is a bowl by Mizuki Matsuoka. It can be used as a rice bowl or a food bowl. It's a unique, tactile vessel made from polished unglazed porcelain. Matsuoka's work is characterized by a quiet, sculptural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted, emphasizing the expansion within the bowl, how it feels in the hand, and the beauty of the empty space. His works include unglazed pieces that highlight the natural expression of the clay and ash-glazed pieces that change with use. Among these, the series of white vessels with silver decoration is particularly striking for its delicate beauty. ＜Care Instructions＞ Sealing: Tea stains may occur.
