Bowl — Tōtaranui

Description

Bring serene coastal warmth to your daily table setting with this wheel-thrown red clay bowl. Individually shaped on the potter’s wheel, the outer body is left completely unglazed, leaving the raw, warm red clay exposed for a satisfying tactile feel in hand.

Inside the bowl, a striking turquoise glaze pools into luminous blue-green tones across the smooth interior basin. Where the glaze thins over the flared rim, it breaks naturally into warm, toasted brown highlights that outline the form against the unglazed outer surface. Its comfortable depth makes it ideal for daily morning cereal, warm soups, or quiet side dishes.

Key Features & Details

• Method & Material: Wheel-thrown from rich red clay with a completely raw, unglazed exterior.

• Individual Character: Natural glaze movement, interior pooling depth, and subtle rim breaking variations during firing ensure every bowl carries its own unique character.

Note on Handcrafted Variations

Each piece is individually wheel-thrown and glazed by hand in my studio. Natural variations in interior glaze flow, pooling depth, and raw clay surface markings occur organically during high-firing, making every bowl uniquely one-of-a-kind.
