Cobalt Stripe Rice Bowl — Hand-Glazed Japanese Pottery by Shinji AkaneGlazed in a settled blue that deepens where the glaze pools along the curve, this bowl holds its color differently in different light. It suits both everyday use and a considered table the kind of piece that works without announcing itself. Shinji Akane works in Gifu, Japan, forming and glazing each bowl by hand. The rim is shaped individually, the surface finished with the table in mind a bowl built to hold food well and to sit easily among others.
