Handmade Rustic Clay Japanese Bowl

Handmade Rustic Japanese Clay Bowl

Discover the authentic essence of the Japanese table with this Handmade Rustic Clay Bowl , a handcrafted piece that combines the sturdiness of traditional stoneware with a rustic elegance ideal for any occasion. Designed to enhance your culinary moments, this bowl is perfect for serving all kinds of dishes: from ramen and noodles to rice, salads, fresh fruit, and cold dishes.

Highlighted Features

• Handcrafted in Rustic Clay
  Each bowl is hand-shaped and fired at a high temperature, giving it a slightly irregular texture and a unique finish. The use of coarse clay (raku or rough pottery) enhances the intentional imperfections, creating a genuine and authentic appearance that evokes the tradition of Japanese pottery.

• “Green Shadow” Design with Gradient Enamel
  Its finish features a gradient effect ranging from brown and earthy tones on the exterior to a subtle aquamarine on the interior. This high-temperature glaze not only provides a sophisticated look but also protects the bowl's surface and makes it easy to clean.

• Thickness and Durability
  Thanks to its thick wall and sturdy construction , this bowl withstands daily use without warping or cracking. The bowl's base is slightly raised, adding stability and allowing for a comfortable grip when serving or carrying.

• Durable and Easy to Care for

  • Microwave Safe : Heat soups, stews or noodles directly in the bowl without the risk of cracking.

  • Dishwasher Safe : High-quality enamel withstands continuous dishwasher cycles without losing color or shine.

  • Cold tolerance : Serve cold preparations such as poke bowls, summer salads or frozen desserts without fear of cracking.

• Versatility of Use
  This bowl is not limited to noodles alone:

  • Rice dishes and donburi (rice dishes with toppings).

  • Salads and poke bowls : their size is ideal for combining vegetables, proteins, and dressings.

  • Soups and broths : capacity and thickness retain heat better.

  • Creative presentations : fruit cocktails, ice creams or even as a small snack bowl.

Benefits for your Table

1. Authenticity and Artisan Character
   Each piece has slight variations in tone and texture, making each bowl unique. The deliberate irregularity of the rustic clay speaks to the artisan's dedication and an ancient manual process.

2. Rustic-Contemporary Aesthetic Appeal
   The "Green Shadow" design combines the sobriety of natural brown with a soft green reminiscent of moss and bamboo leaves. This contrast creates a focal point on your table that evokes calm and harmony.

3. Daily Functionality Without Hassle

   • Effortless heating : you can take your hot dish out of the microwave without changing containers.

   • Easy cleaning : Forget about intensive scrubbing; just place the bowl in the dishwasher and it's ready to go.

   • Gentle on your kitchen : the ceramic base won't scratch or damage your countertop, even when hot.

   With balanced dimensions (approx. 20 cm in diameter and 8 cm high), this bowl stands out in minimalist, Nordic-chic, or wabi-sabi designs. Use it as the centerpiece for a single dish or as a serving dish for several people at informal gatherings.

Use and Maintenance Tips

1. First Wash

   • Before first use, rinse the bowl with warm water and mild soap. Dry it with a microfiber cloth to ensure no dust particles remain.

2. Microwave Heating

   • Place foods with a moderate amount of liquid to prevent the bowl from heating unevenly.

   • Avoid prolonged use at full power, which can cause microcracks over time.

3. Daily Washing

   • You can put it in the dishwasher without worry, but to best preserve the vibrancy of the enamel, select a gentle cycle.

   • If you notice any grease or stuck-on food, soak it briefly before scrubbing.

4. Protection against shocks and sudden temperature changes

   • Although it is very resistant, avoid direct impacts against hard surfaces.

   • Don't take it out of the refrigerator and immediately put it in the microwave: the extreme temperature change could affect the integrity of the enamel.
