This stoneware bowl, wheel-thrown and then extensively reworked by hand, features a deep olive-green glaze that shifts to blue-grey in the recesses. The entire outer wall is incised with a grid pattern before firing, the engraved lines revealing a lighter clay beneath the dark glaze. The high rim, cut with battlements and rectangular slots, breaks the symmetry of a classic bowl. Inside, a spiral pattern traced in slip enlivens the base. Under the foot, a small hand-painted mark signs the piece.

This is a piece to be looked at as much as used: the openwork rim and the interior spiral make it an object to be displayed prominently, on a shelf or in the center of a table, rather than an everyday bowl that is put away after use. It can hold fruit left out in the open, dried branches, or simply remain empty to let its silhouette and texture do the work.

This piece comes from Japan. However, I cannot attribute it to a specific workshop or regional tradition: its vocabulary (incised grid, openwork rim, slip-trailed spiral) departs from the classic styles I know well (Bizen, Shigaraki, Karatsu, Raku). Everything points to the work of a contemporary Japanese ceramicist, in a more personal rather than regional vein, which makes the piece distinct but not attributed with certainty.

Care: dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth; if occasional food use is intended, hand wash only.

Estimated dimensions: approximately 21 cm in diameter, 10 cm in height (to be confirmed by direct measurement).
