Shigaraki kohiki teppun bowl 300ml

A minimalist bowl, handcrafted at the Marui Seito pottery studio in Shigaraki, Japan. Dark brown clay glazed using the kohiki technique to produce a white-cream colour. It features a dark brown rim and irregular spots.

You can use the bowl to serve snacks or desserts, or it can also be used as a cup for tea.

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.
