Kanayama Matte Brown Kobachi Bowl 17.5 fl oz / 4.75" dia
One of the features of Kanayama pottery, called "Sangiri", is produced by indirectly heating pottery that's buried in ash. The same effect is also achieved when pottery is fired in a furnace and heated until oxidation occurs. The lack of oxygen that these methods create causes greys and blues that are seen in nature to appear in patterns on the surface of the pottery.
With its simple form and distinctive textured finish, this small bowl brings warmth and charm to your dining experience while enhancing the presentation of your dishes. The size of 17.5 fl oz capacity is perfect for serving small salads, and it can be used as a matcha bowl.

Kanayama Pottery
Tsugaru Kanayama pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir. These pieces of pottery are made using the "Yakishime Method", a technique in which unglazed pottery is faced directly into a fire fueled by local Japanese Red Pine Wood. The pottery is brought to a high temperature of 2462°F, creating a natural and unique pattern on the surface for each piece of pottery.
