Ash Glaze Straight 5-Inch Bowl — Wood-Fired Japanese Pottery by Tatsuo OtomoFired with natural wood ash, this bowl carries the quiet marks of the kiln across its inner curve the glaze settling in tones of grey and straw where the ash fell, deepening toward the foot. The depth of the form holds soups and grains alike, the surface giving food something considered to rest against. Tatsuo Otomo works in Shiga, Japan, forming and firing each bowl by hand. The rim is shaped individually, the surface finished with the table in mind
