Shigaraki Ware – Side Dish Bowl (Shitami) Small – Glacier Ivory with Blue design

Shigaraki Ware – Side Dish Bowl (Shitami) Small – Glacier Ivory with Blue Design – 14.5cm (W) x 11cm (H)

This beautifully handcrafted Shigaraki Ware side dish bowl showcases the expressive, artistic character that defines traditional ceramics from Shiga Prefecture. The ?glacier ivory? surface serves as a textured, natural base, while sweeping strokes of deep brown and vibrant blue glaze create a fluid, abstract design reminiscent of flowing water, wind-swept patterns, and organic landscapes shaped by nature.

Its small, oval-shaped Shitami form makes it perfect for serving side dishes, pickles, sauces, small salads, condiments, desserts, or shared tasting portions. The bowl’s distinctive slanted profile adds visual movement, while the handcrafted glaze ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly alike – each one a truly individual work of Japanese pottery.
