Description :

Artistic, handcrafted ceramic Raku bowl, featuring a rugged, volcanic black exterior contrasted with a vibrant blue-green metallic glaze.

The bowl embraces the traditional Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection, asymmetry, and raw organic textures. 
The heavily cratered outer surface mimics natural basalt, volcanic rock, or rough stone.

It utilizes a specialized Raku firing process, where hot ceramics are rapidly cooled to produce unpredictable, iridescent glaze variations and rich metallic shifts.

The uneven, hand-carved rim mimics the Kurinuki technique, where a vessel is hollowed out from a single solid block of clay.

7“ x 5“
