Lacquered mother-of-pearl bowl with rim design (wood grain) (Set of 2)
Lacquered mother-of-pearl bowl with rim design (wood grain) (Set of 2)
Quiet margins, enveloped in light
These custom-made vessels were turned one by one by a skilled wood craftsman, based on designs drawn by the artist themselves.
The exterior features a "suri-urushi" (wiped lacquer) finish that highlights the wood grain. The interior reveals iridescent mother-of-pearl (raden) sinking into jet-black lacquer. These two expressions create a quiet contrast.
The rim and the black edge of the foot are reinforced with Japanese paper. Each piece is carefully finished using 100% natural lacquer.
【Product Details】
Materials: Zelkova wood, lacquer, abalone shell
Size: 12 x 12 x 8.5 cm
Restock: None (one-of-a-kind)
Accessories: Comes with a matching wooden box
Note: Set of two bowls (¥19,250 per bowl).
As natural materials are used, the pattern and color of the shells will vary from piece to piece. You may observe subtle chips or cracks characteristic of natural materials, which are part of their unique charm.
Each piece is meticulously hand-lacquered in multiple layers. Due to this characteristic, fine dust may adhere to the painted surface; we hope you appreciate this as a part of its handmade texture.

Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and a soft sponge.
Storage: After washing, wipe off moisture and store away from direct sunlight.
