Toshifumi Tashiro, bowl, white | Japanese ceramics (TT01)
About the object: Toshifumi Tashiro's thin-walled bowl with foot is dark on the inside, almost black, and glazed matt white on the outside. The rim shimmers golden. 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.
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."
