A bowl that breathes.
With a quiet, wide rim and a soft central basin, this form invites pause and presence. I have decided to call it "blooming bowl", as its shape ressembles a blooming flower. The bowl part is quite deep so can easily receive a sauce, a soup, a dip or a portion of risotto. The rim part has been entirely carved by hand to add textural interest.
Some people also use those bowls as candle holder or vessel for ikebana floral arrangements. It can also just be a beautiful statement piece, to be admired for its tranquil presence and quiet charm.
A very versatile shape overall that can find its place all around the house.
Fired in oxidation at a temperature of 1200ºC, ensuring both durability and uniqueness.

All pieces are handmade and therefore measurements are only indicative. All pieces are unique and therefore small variations in finish/colour/size/shape often happen between two similar looking pieces, especially those created as part of an ensemble. The shop will feature as many photographs as possible in the description of each piece, so my customer get a precise idea before ordering. But photographs do not reflect exactly the reality. Please be aware of this before placing an order.
Sometimes, the piece you are sent will NOT be the piece shown on the website, but it will be a very similar looking one. I try not to embellish the photographs featured in the shop, but the real colour of each piece can sometimes be slightly different than the one on the photograph. Those variations in aspect are not considered flaws, but rather contribute to the organic character and unicity of each piece.
