While humble in size, Kowari’s specialised design and glazing technique make this bowl a feast for the eyes. 

Colour variations range from deep greens, warm oranges and sparkling bright blue, while gestural indentations and generous drips create alluring surfaces that occupy the beholder.

While traditionally a rice bowl, this functional sizing allows for versatility of use.
