Antique Bowl. Large,Ceramic. Kitchen, Mixing. Yellow & Cream. Wabi Sabi.

Large Antique mixing bowl. Lots of beautiful, authentic, Wabi Sabi, Or Shibui. Japanese aesthetic words/philosophies. Loosely translated: Shibui means an an aesthetic that only time can reveal, Wabi Sabi means the beauty of imperfection, how flaws bring deep beauty to objects, experiences. The perfection of imperfection. Manufacturing place or company is unknown. I bought it from an estate sale in Santa Fe, NM. Yes, you can put it through your dishwasher & in your microwave. Not your oven. I had it in my antique & art collection & sometimes used it as a fruit bowl. Its looks amazing filled with things like avocados, plums, apples etc.. This is sturdy & solid & heavyweight, has many beautiful "flaws", pitted glaze, crazing, chip etc. The glaze is glossy and may be an oxidized iron based glaze or rutile. Clay body: White Stoneware. Traditional stacked firing method from Bottle neck kilns. Enjoy the photos & video- its even better in person! Dimensions: 9.5 x 9.5 x 5 Weight: 3lb 7oz A fellow posher asked if this had been tested for lead. Short andwer - No. long answer- I have a degree in ceramic art/science and IF the glaze has lead in it, you would only be exposed if you drank boiling water or tea out of it- which is highly unlikely. It is an antique and intended to be decorative or to hold dry items. Thank you for shopping, sharing and following my Poshmark closet. You are appreciated!
