Know before you buy
Because each piece is individually handcrafted by Nobuhito Nishigawara, slight variations in texture and finish are expected. You should consider each bowl a unique studio creation rather than a mass-produced item.
We recommend hand washing your bowl to preserve the integrity of the ceramic finish. Avoid using harsh abrasives or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
Yes, the 32 oz. capacity is quite versatile. It is deep enough to comfortably hold large portions of salad, pasta, or soup, making it a functional choice for both casual dining and serving.
The bowl is designed with a balanced base to ensure stability during use. Despite its distinctive V-shape, it sits securely on flat surfaces.
The finishes are designed to complement the clean, modern aesthetic of the piece. Both colors feature a refined, high-quality glaze that highlights the ceramic's form without being overly reflective.
