Iron Colored 4.5-Sun Shallow Bowl - Crafted By Seiji Okuda

The iron-rich glaze on this bowl deepens toward the foot and pools where the form curves inward. In your hands it reads differently depending on the light — dark and weighty in shadow, warmer where it catches the sun. Seiji Okuda forms and fires each bowl by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to receive full attention. What you hold is the result of that care — a bowl made to be used and to last. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a bowl 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: Japanese pottery (ceramic) Made in Japan Artisan: Seiji Okuda Size: 14 × 4.8 cm (5.5 × 1.9 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
