Flower-Shaped Medium Bowl
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
The Hozan Kiln's Flower-Shaped Kobachi Bowl embodies the earthy textures and colors characteristic of Bizen ware. Its coarse texture, exquisite hues, and intricate patterns, shaped by the kiln's flames, exemplify Bizen ware—the art of clay and fire.
Without any artificial decorations, the bowl stands out with its bold presence. The petal-shaped rim displays natural hues created by the adherence of ash, providing a subtle accent to the entire bowl.
The bowl's size is ideal for serving salads, main dishes, and side dishes such as nimono (simmered foods).

Maker / Brand
Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen ware kiln located in Imbe, Bizen City, the hometown of Bizen ware, and is directly descended from the Six family of Bizen ware potters. It has produced many masterpieces of tea ceremony utensils, sake cups, and works of art since long ago. The fan-shaped ceramic stamp (brand mark) used today at the kiln is known to have been stamped on a large jar from the 16th century.
Origin
Bizen ware is a traditional stoneware produced in the Imbe area of Okayama Prefecture. It is one of the oldest ceramics in Japan, and is made using the yakishime technique, in which pieces are fired at high temperatures without glaze to make them durable and water-resistant.
Bizen ware is called "the art of clay and fire" for the exquisite colors and patterns produced by the kiln's flames, and is characterized by its minimalist, wabi sabi design.

Medium Bowls
Medium-sized Japanese bowls are a highly versatile type of tableware. A great go-to for individual servings, they aren’t so big as to be overwhelming but are still large enough for main portions. Donburi dishes, nimono broth dishes, Western-style soups, cereal, and personal servings of salads will fit nicely in these bowls. They can also be used for serving sides or desserts. Our collection comes in a wide variety of patterns, colors, and shapes, making each piece not only convenient but also a stylish addition to your dining table.
This category includes bowls with diameters from 13–20.9 cm (5.1–8.2 in).
