Dimensions: height 14 cm, diameter 30 cm.

The bowl features an organic, rounded form with a low foot ring and gently flared rim — a harmonious balance of functionality and rustic elegance. The surface displays a natural crazing pattern with a subtly speckled texture, typical of traditional Japanese stoneware techniques.

A deep green glaze runs along the rim in flowing drips, like frozen rain on clay — an expressive detail that makes this a unique piece. The earthy tones and natural irregularities reflect the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy: beauty in imperfection and impermanence.

Originating from the early Shōwa period (circa 1930), it was likely made as functional pottery.

Perfect as a fruit bowl, nut dish, table centerpiece, or as a rustic interior accent in Japandi, boho, or minimalist spaces.

A striking example of Japanese artisanal aesthetics — simple, natural, and deeply sensory. See less
