The bowl's base is clear and smooth with its luminous shine, while the upper surface has delicately carved grooves of the technique of "Tobikanna" (chattered pottery). The rim exposes the outlines of the red clay, an exquisite balance between the elegance of emerald celadon and the rustic red soil.
