Know before you buy
Ohi Yaki is a traditional Japanese pottery style known for its distinct firing process and porous, lightweight ceramic body. It is highly prized in tea ceremonies for its ability to retain heat well and its unique, tactile aesthetic that develops character over time.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed gently with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive sponges, as the delicate glaze and porous nature of the ceramic can be easily damaged.
No, this bowl is not suitable for microwave, oven, or freezer use. The thermal shock from these appliances can cause the handcrafted ceramic to crack or compromise the integrity of the glaze.
The 'Fullbox Wood' designation indicates that the bowl comes with its original artisan-signed wooden storage box, known as a tomobako. This is essential for protecting the piece when not in use and serves as a mark of authenticity and provenance.
No, the Cloudy Glaze is an abstract, handcrafted finish, meaning no two bowls are exactly alike. You should expect slight variations in the Choco Brown hue and the distribution of the glaze, which is a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
