These bowls have an earthy organic feel that is so beautiful and timeless. This comes from a technique called Kohiki, where a white slip is layered on the dark clay before firing. This gives the finished glaze a layered color of white, grey, and a pinkish hue called Gohonte. They are great for mixing and serving And, in the case of the mini serving/pouring sauces. Small measures approx. 3 1/4" diameter x 1 1/4" H. Medium measures approx. 4 3/4" diameter x 2" H. Large measures approx. 6 1/2" diameter x 2 1/2" H. Recommend to hand wash. Dry well immediately after washing. Please note: Japanese pottery sometimes has a technique called "crazing," which intentionally adds hairline cracks to the shiny top coat of the glaze. Crazing is not a defect. These have a slight amount of crazing. Also, may have darker spots where there is no glazing (see top rim in photos). There are other "gohonte" items that can be paired with this, including bowls, graters, pitchers, etc.
