Turquoise Colored Rice Bowl
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
The meditative depth of celadon blue lures us into even forgetting that this is a bowl of daily tableware. 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.
The turquoise glare is achieved through the meticulous process of kneading the kiln’s house blended pigment and seed of celadon into the clay. The celadon seed illuminates into this unique heartwarming blue once cooked in the kiln.
The celadon glare will surely beautify your warm cooked rice; the smooth and elegant form and color are a pleasure to the eye, if you're looking for a gentle and meditative feel.

Its works feature a unique design in which the blue shades celadon are emphasized by grooves made by carving out continuous geometric patterns using a technique called tobikanna, also known as chattering.

Rice Bowls
Rice bowls are indispensable tableware for the Japanese dining table. Since they are used so often for Japanese food, many people are particular about them. It is important to choose one that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also the right size for your hand and easy to hold.
We recommend that you get a dedicated rice bowl for each member of your family. It's also a good idea to have a few available for different occasions, in varying colors and patterns that match the season and table setting.
Tobikanna
Tobikanna, also called chattering, is a decorative ceramics technique. As clay is turned on a potter's wheel, a flexible piece of metal called a plane is lightly skipped over the clay to create an engraved pattern. This technique requires a high level of skill, as the pattern is easily affected by the tool, the moisture content of the clay, and the speed at which the wheel is turned.
