Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is handcrafted by Nobuhito Nishigawara, you should expect subtle variations in the glaze and form. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisan process and ensure that every bowl has its own distinct personality.
Yes. Despite its artisan stoneware construction, the bowl is fully microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily use.
The bowl measures 8 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches in height. Its deep profile makes it well-suited for standard servings of soup, cereal, or grain bowls.
The bowl weighs 2 pounds, giving it a substantial, high-quality feel in the hand. It is designed for everyday durability rather than being fragile or lightweight.
