Crafted in the historic Mino pottery region of Gifu Prefecture, Japan, this exquisite ceramic rim bowl showcases a breathtaking fine network crackle glaze (kannyu).
it seamlessly merges traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern tabletop aesthetics.
The bowl features a wide, gently sloped brim surrounding a deep center, often called a "hat bowl" (boshi-bachi). Coated in a soft ivory-white glaze, the intricate web of delicate cracklines spans across the entire surface, creating an extraordinary visual and tactile texture reminiscent of fine ice crystal webs.
The irregular fissures on the pottery's surface are known as "Kannyu." The clay is covered with a glass-like layer formed by the melting glaze. These cracks appear as the pottery cools after being fired, caused by the varying degree of shrinkage between the clay and glaze. The Kannyu pattern in pottery has long been admired as a symbol of Wabi-Sabi beauty in Japan.
