Know before you buy
Iga-yaki is a traditional style of Japanese pottery from the Iga region, known for its high-quality clay that is prized for its heat retention and rustic, earthy texture. These bowls are crafted using these authentic techniques, resulting in a durable, porous material that embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic.
No, these bowls are hand-wash only. They are not suitable for the dishwasher or freezer, as the natural clay material requires gentle handling to maintain its integrity.
Because each piece is hand-crafted, there will be slight variations in color, texture, and shape. These unique characteristics are intentional and part of the wabi-sabi aesthetic, meaning your bowl will be one-of-a-kind.
Each set comes with the clay bowl, a matching lid, a small wooden spoon, and an English instruction sheet to help you care for your pottery.
These bowls are designed for serving small portions of condiments, such as salt, pepper, spices, or dipping sauces. Their compact size makes them ideal for table-side seasoning or individual serving portions.
