Price

Tax incl. / Ships worldwide · Free shipping in Japan over ¥20,000

A one-of-a-kind piece, shown in a past online solo exhibition. Over the puckered, crawled glaze surface born of the kairagi technique, nano-scale pure gold is laid to build the landscape of the bowl. Approx. Ø100mm × H80mm, capacity ~400ml. Being handwork, the glaze landscape, size and colour vary from piece to piece.

§ Shipping

We ship worldwide from our studio in Mino, Japan. Pieces in stock typically ship within a few days; made-to-order works take longer, and we will email you the estimated dispatch date after your order. Outside Japan: you pay for the piece now, and the shipping fee (EMS or Yamato International, chosen by the actual packed size and weight) is confirmed after packing and sent to you by email as a separate payment link. Import duties or taxes, if any, are paid by the recipient. Within Japan: Yamato region-based shipping from ¥920 (incl. packaging, size surcharge applies), free on orders over ¥20,000 (tax included).

§ Care

When using metal cutlery, faint pencil-like grey marks (so-called "metal marks") may appear on the surface of the ware. This does not affect the quality of the piece. We recommend a melamine sponge or citric acid for cleaning. Never use in an oven or over an open flame.

§ Return

Each piece is made entirely by hand, and the formation of glaze crystals and surface scenery — along with size, color, expression, texture, and tonal density — varies from piece to piece. These individual differences are the very charm of handwork and are not grounds for return. Returns are not accepted except in the case of defects.

§ IV. Language

Bowl.

A vessel for the center of the table

Shota Miyashita's "bowl" series. The expression shifts dramatically with each glaze — vessels meant to anchor the table. Available in melty, albus, alchemia, chaos, and many other glazes.

§ V. Glaze

jewel

光沢

特殊な光沢、宝石の肌. Born from blending precise to 0.001g and temperature control to 1°C, this color and this surface come into being. Even with the same glaze, the landscape differs each time it is fired.

§ VI. On variations

Each vessel is unlike any other.

Every piece is made entirely by hand. The formation of glaze crystals and surface scenery — along with size, color, expression, texture, and tonal density — varies from piece to piece. Even within the same named glaze, each vessel carries its own landscape. These individual differences are the very charm of handwork and are not grounds for return. We hope you will enjoy these landscapes throughout your time spent with the piece.
