Shigaraki Ware – Rice/Tea Bowl (500ml) Light Blue

This beautifully handcrafted Shigaraki Ware bowl captures the calming essence of Japanese aesthetics through its vibrant yet soothing light-blue glaze. Made in Shiga Prefecture, one of Japan’s oldest and most celebrated pottery regions, the bowl showcases the natural textures and subtle variations that Shigaraki clay is known for. Its soft gradient of blue – deepening toward the base and gently lightening along the rim – evokes the tranquillity of open skies and clear water.

With its rounded form, comfortable height, and smooth inner surface, this versatile bowl is perfect for rice, tea, small noodle dishes, matcha, soup, or daily table servings. The organic speckling and rich clay undertones create a warm, earthy balance against the cool glaze, making each piece unique. Whether used for everyday meals or displayed as a decorative item, it brings a touch of serene craftsmanship to any setting.
