Bowl shio 300ml

An original bowl handcrafted at the Marui Seito pottery studio in Shigaraki, Japan. It can be used as a snack or dessert bowl, or as a teacup. It comes in a steel-gray color with cream-and-blue decorations.. Shio means tide, water current.  Natural ash glaze, harmonious colors, raw character in the aesthetic of wabi-sabi. Beauty enchanted in everyday, seemingly ordinary objects... 

Hechimon refers to unconventional items made by craftsmen in Shigaraki - it is a registered trademark of the Marui Seito studio. Just as nature creates diverse forms and each of us has a unique individuality, so “hechimon” dishes are characterized by diversity and each of them is one of a kind. Potters believe that, more than industrial products, they are thought to resemble agricultural products created by nature. Craftsmen produce clay vessels with dedication and creativity, respecting their uniqueness and giving them exceptional forms.
