Black Bizen Deep Bowl

This black Bizen deep bowl is by Kazuhiro Mori, an artist who follows in the footsteps of his father, to whom he has dedicated his life to large-kiln firing, and who himself aspires to recreate the powerful beauty of ancient Bizen through this same technique. The combination of fine-particle sesame ash from a 20-meter kiln firing and a black slip creates a remarkably matte texture that appears almost coated. The modern design, tailored for a chic atmosphere, perfectly showcases the refined sensibility of Mori, who studied glass craft. This is an exemplary piece of tableware; its deep black color enhances the appearance of the food it holds, transforming the ambiance of the dining table while remaining a modest supporting player. No box
Diameter 12.3cm x 12.2cm x Height 9.7cm
