Product description

This antique Japanese bowl embodies the everyday aesthetic cherished by Japanese craftsmanship: a discreet beauty born from use. Its ash-toned glaze, punctuated by deep brown nuances and mineral micro-textures, reveals the result of traditional kiln firing where flame and material engage in a free dialogue. Each variation in color tells a specific moment of the firing; no area is perfectly uniform, and that is precisely where its charm lies.

The slightly open shape naturally invites the hand. The raw, deliberately contrasted foot serves as a reminder that the object is not merely decorative but designed for living: eating, drinking, serving. This bowl belongs to those Japanese utensils that accompany one's daily movements for years until they become familiar.

A vintage collector's item, available in a single copy, it already carries a history and will continue its own in your kitchen.

Care: this vintage ceramic piece should be hand-washed to preserve the ash glaze and its patina; avoid sudden thermal shocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the shades of this bowl vary so much?

Its natural ash glaze was formed in a traditional kiln, where each area of the piece reacted differently to the flame.

Is it a one-off piece?

Yes, it is a vintage piece and there is only one.

How do I look after it without damaging it?

Avoid the dishwasher, and the microwave if the bowl would heat up suddenly, and dry it after washing to protect the bare, unglazed foot.

How to use it?

A Japanese ceramic bowl, designed for everyday life: you hold it in your hand close to your mouth, the Japanese way.
What it is for: you serve rice, soup, a stew or breakfast in it. One bowl is enough for several uses.
Serve rice, soup or tea in it.
Avoid the dishwasher to preserve the patina, and the microwave if the bowl would be heated very fast.
Dry it after washing to protect the raw unglazed foot.
It may change slightly over time: this is normal.
Idea: as a serving piece, set it in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves.
Good to know: mix it with bowls of other colours or materials: the table will feel more alive.
