Know before you buy
With a diameter of 210mm and a height of 6.5cm, this bowl is sized for generous individual servings or as a medium-sized serving dish. It is well-suited for hearty portions of ramen, udon, or large salads.
The French Lace pattern is embossed into the clay using traditional Mashiko techniques. You will feel a subtle, refined texture on the surface of the bowl, which adds to its artisanal character.
As this is authentic handcrafted pottery, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glaze and the intricate lace detailing. Avoid using it in the microwave or dishwasher to prevent thermal shock or potential damage to the ceramic finish.
Yes, the glazes react differently to the embossed lace pattern. The White finish offers a clean, classic look that highlights the shadows within the lace, while the Green glaze provides a deeper, earthy tone that emphasizes the artisanal nature of the Mashiko style.
Mashiko pottery is known for its sturdy, grounded feel. While it has a substantial presence on the table, it is balanced and comfortable to handle for serving or holding while eating.
