Toshifumi Tashiro
About the object: Toshifumi Tashiro's thin-walled bowl is glazed dark inside, almost black, and the rim shimmers golden. It looks almost light-footed thanks to the narrowly tapering base. Very elegant, very classy. With a diameter of approx. 19 cm and a height of 7 cm, the bowl can be used decoratively with a floating flower, but also as a serving bowl. Alone or in a (small) group.
Manufacturing process: Toshifumi Tashiro turns his ceramics on the wheel, driven by hand. The clay comes from the famous soil in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, which is known to be ideal for pottery. Tashiro mixes different types of clay to achieve the texture and fire resistance he wants in his ceramics. Dhe clay used means that the use of glazes is limited. Some of his objects have two main firings.
Tashiro Toshifumi: "The vessels I make generally have a simple shape. That's why I try to find ways to express their richness and make them unique."
