The palm-sized, egg-shaped bowl is also a long running series of monohanako. You can use them for pickles, seasonings, nuts, or olives. At home we use this bowl to make a savory steamed egg dish called chawanmushi.
Before firing white slip is applied underneath a coat of mustard-colored glaze containing iron reminiscent of autumn pampas grass. The slip seeps into into the clay producing a random crackle pattern that doesn’t compromise the glaze integrity. Please enjoy the natural appearance of each spontaneous line.
Hanako makes each piece by hand, one by one. Slight variations in size, shape, color, and surface are inherent to the process. We hope you will embrace these small differences as characteristics that give each piece individuality and character, making them all the more lovable.
