Mother-of-pearl rimmed lacquer bowls (set of 2)
Quiet elegance adorned with light
These are custom-made vessels, each turned individually by a skilled wood craftsman who faithfully followed the artist's own design.
Square abalone shells are meticulously embedded around the rim of the vessel.
The iridescent shimmer, changing expression with every angle, is captured within a simple design.
The rims of the opening and the foot are reinforced with Japanese paper.
