The Ash Glaze & Zaffer Imprint Bowl showcases soft blue gradients created by flowing zaffer beneath an ash glaze, with exposed Shigaraki clay adding warmth and contrast. Delicate impressed motifs, such as lilies or chrysanthemums, decorate the interior, while subtle horizontal lines distinguish the lighter rim from its deeper blue centre.

Ideal as a bow for rice, soup, or small side dishes, it offers a balanced size and gentle form that complements all meals with elegance.

Artist

Tomohiro Matsumoto is a Japanese potter working with Shigaraki clay, continuing a family tradition that spans over 150 years. As a fifth-generation potter, he is known for his bold approach to glaze and color. He introduces vivid red tones that contrast with Shigaraki’s traditional hi-iro (緋色) glaze. Today, his work explores a wider range of glazes and firing methods, using materials such as wood ash to create durable, expressive surfaces shaped by fire.

Our items are dishwasher-safe; however, we highly recommend placing them separately and leaving at least one empty slot between pieces. This helps prevent accidental damage caused by high-pressure water or collisions inside the machine.

Please avoid using any items from the Signature Collections or pieces that include metal elements (such as gold or silver accents, or Kintsugi repairs involving metal) as they may spark or cause a fire.

Oven:
We do not recommend using any of our items in an oven.
