Finished with a deep, lustrous Oribe glaze, this hand-shaped kobachi small bowl reflects the quiet sophistication of Japanese pottery while remaining perfectly suited for everyday use.

A base coat of ki-Seto glaze—a pale yellow glaze unique to Mino ware—is first applied, followed by layers of Oribe glaze brushed by hand, creating soft gradations of green, amber, and blue that recall natural landscapes. The mogusa clay, known for its subtle tone and texture, responds uniquely to the fire, allowing tranquil beauty to emerge through both process and form. Areas where the glaze is thinner reveal the clay beneath for a pleasing textural contrast.

Perfectly sized for small portions, it is ideal for side dishes, pickles, or delicate desserts. Its earthy color palette complements any table setting, whether used alone or combined with other Oribe pieces for a cohesive presentation. The elegant box makes it a lovely gift option.
