About the Wabi Sabi Glaze:

The Wabi Sabi glaze is a harmonious blend of earthy ochre and charcoal tones, highlighted by delicate speckling and subtle variations in texture. The glaze transitions smoothly from a warm ochre interior to a deep charcoal exterior, creating a captivating gradient effect. The bowl’s surface features natural variations and slight color shifts, giving it a dynamic, organic look that embodies the essence of Wabi Sabi aesthetics—celebrating the beauty found in natural irregularities.

This unique glaze is applied using a layering technique that allows the colours to meld seamlessly, producing a finish that is both visually striking and soothing. The slightly textured, matte surface contrasts with the glossy interior, creating a tactile experience that enhances the bowl’s natural, rustic charm.

Each piece is handcrafted from high-quality Minoyaki porcelain, a ceramic tradition that has flourished in the Gifu prefecture of Japan for over 1,300 years. Known for its strength and refined finish, Minoyaki porcelain is ideal for both functional and artistic tableware, and the Wabi Sabi glaze highlights its ability to showcase subtle nuances in colour and texture.
