Description: A pair of Abi's smaller but sturdy (big hand size) deep, handmade noodle bowls. Perfect with chopsticks and your favourite Asian cuisine.
Outside the view, with ribbed contours rises with inky black blue mountain intensity, stars and night sky.
Inside perfect, speckled Bay blue.
And finally this set is another example of how the colours change depending on the light... look at the change in colours out in the garden!
NOTE: Though these two are sold as a pair, they are not identical. They are very similar, yet not 'twins'... more like 'brother and sister'. Anyway we found these two beautiful bowls impossible to separate either way.
It was almost as if they'd be upset if we tried because their personality is so strong and clear!
Material: 100% clay. Biscuit fired, then glazed and into a last firing to set the glazing process.
Size: Height—7.5cm, 7.5cm. Width—10.5cm, 10.8cm
Weight: 370gm + 395gm = 765 gm total for two bowls.
Microwave Safe: Yes indeed.
The Japanese concept of "perfect imperfection" is deeply rooted in the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi and the art of Kintsugi, both of which celebrate imperfection, impermanence, and the beauty of flaws.
I like that!
So please note if you see something quirky, slightly off or 'less than perfect'... too big. Too small in my work.
Or with some 'flaw' in when viewed by modern sensibilities, that I don't see them that way at all.
I view them more as aspects of 'Perfect Imperfection'.
I hope you do too, though if not that's fine too... it just means that piece is not meant for you :)
(I reject a lot of pieces before I release a collection. The ones that make it are those I feel will bring beauty to the homes they go to).
COLOUR NOTES:
The colours of my ceramics change throughout the day—Sometimes appearing darker or lighter, sparkling or rich, soothing or vibrant.
This transformation depends on the weather, the season, and the quality of light surrounding them.
So matter how carefully I photograph each piece, the camera can't do justice to this dynamic quality.
All photographs are taken in natural light without extra enhancement. You may even notice colour variations within the same series of photos—This is due to changing light conditions during the photography session.
Important Display Considerations
Please be aware colours shown on your screen are only an approximation of the actual piece.
Different devices—whether mobile phones, laptops, or tablets—display colours differently due to varying screen settings. What appears blue on one device might look green or turquoise on another.
