Kyoto Vegetables Medium Bowl
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
The Kyoto Vegetables Medium Bowl features a vegetable motif inspired by Kyoto produce, with variations including Kamo eggplant, Manganji pepper, and Shogoin radish. Rendered in the blue and white of sometsuke with gosu pigment, the hand-painted lines give form and expression to vegetables long familiar in Kyoto.
The softly undulating rim creates a natural grip, while the changing height softens the profile. Its depth lends itself to simmered dishes, chilled sides, fruit, or small servings brought to the table. While crafted in stoneware, it lifts with unexpected ease.
Blue washes continue onto the exterior, moving across the cream-white clay body. Fine crackles emerging over time gradually become traces of continued use.

Maker / Brand
Tosen Kiln embraces Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for the modern era. Originally founded in 1868 as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler, Tosen Kiln opened a ceramics production studio in 1944. Today, the kiln continues its legacy in Kyoto’s history-rich Gojo neighborhood.
Drawing inspiration from the precise wheel-throwing techniques and luminous paintings of Edo-period master potter Nonomura Ninsei, Tosen Kiln preserves this heritage while creating pieces that suit contemporary aesthetics.
