This bowl features round Kamo eggplants, a summer vegetable from Kyoto, in the serene blue and white of sometsuke.

Kyoto vegetable designs are created by applying a water-resistant substance to outline the shapes. Then, gosu, a cobalt blue glaze, is hand-painted over the surface, leaving the protected areas untouched. After a second bisque-firing, delicate lines with gosu complete the intricate design.

Ideal for summer salads, simmered vegetables, or fresh fruit, this rustic stoneware bowl is a perfect addition.

Established in 1868 as a prominent Kiyomizu ware wholesaler in Kyoto, Tosen Kiln remains loyal to its traditional roots. With a unique blend of soil and glaze, the kiln has upheld the methods and unmatched quality associated with Nonomura Ninsei, the esteemed potter recognized for perfecting the art of Kyo ware in the 17th century.
