Origin: Likely Shigaraki, Japan - Kiln Unknown
Material: Wood-fired stoneware
Diameter: approx. 22cm
Height: approx. 8.5cm
A quietly sculptural object, this large, vintage, hand-thrown stoneware bowl has an uneven form and a softly distorted lip - hallmarks of Shigaraki ware’s celebration of wabi‑sabi. The surface shows signs of traditional wood-firing, with natural ash glaze pooling at the base and faint round reddish firing marks across the interior.
A spiral throwing pattern is visible throughout, left intentionally as part of the piece’s character. The maker is unknown but the underside bears a maker’s mark, confirming it as a studio piece.
Likely made in the mid-to-late 20th century, this wood‑fired pottery piece doubles as Japanese tableware or sculptural décor.
Some minor chips around the lip speak to its life in the kiln and years in storage - consistent with age.
