Bowl (150mm/160mm)

This bowl is wonderfully easy to use.

In the shop owner's home, it appears on the table almost every day. The flowing grain is beautiful, and depending on how the light hits it, it can take on a golden hue. With regular care, its color gradually deepens to a soft, rich tone. The more you use it and care for it, the more attached you’ll become—this is a bowl you grow with.

The finish is very thin, without pore-filling or wood-hardening treatments, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural texture of the wood. Please note, however, that it is prone to staining at first. That said, most stains can be reduced through regular care. As you continue caring for the bowl, its color darkens, a gentle sheen develops, and it becomes more resistant to stains. Although it is finished with glass paint, maintenance can be done using oil. For examples of actual stains and care, please refer to " Examples of the Aging Process and Maintenance of Wooden Tableware (Oil Finish) ".
