Large, deep, footed oribe bowl by Tetsuya Kowari.

Oribe is highly prized in Japanese culture ... and this piece is no exception! Definitely one for the collectors.

While stunning on its own, this generously proportioned vessel is meant to be used and enjoyed, and is perfect for ramen or noodles. Its deep, rounded bowl is mounted on a raised base, then finished in Kowari's signature oribe style, with washes of brown and green, culminating in a dark blue pool in the centre.

We can feel water trickling down ancient stones and earth into a beautiful pool of cooling blue.
