About the Black Meteor Glaze:

The Black Meteor glaze is inspired by the natural beauty of cosmic elements, resembling the effect of a meteor shower with its delicate speckled pattern. This glaze is applied through a multi-layered process that involves careful hand-finishing, allowing each piece to feature unique variations in color and texture. The dark, glossy black is accented by soft, ash-like speckling that fades gently toward the bowl’s base, creating a dynamic visual contrast.

The speckled finish symbolizes the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in simplicity and imperfection, a concept known as “wabi-sabi.” This bowl, made from Minoyaki porcelain, is not only visually stunning but also highly durable. The Minoyaki tradition, rooted in the Gifu prefecture of Japan, has been producing world-class ceramics for over 1,300 years. The porcelain used in this bowl is fired at a high temperature to achieve a smooth, glossy finish that is resistant to wear and suitable for both home and professional use.
