Vintage Raku ceramic bowl, handmade, signed, Japanese craftsmanship.

Superb hand-crafted raku ceramic bowl, featuring a rainbow colour palette and a highly tactile surface. Its rounded, organic shape is accentuated by spectacular crackles, veining, and a deliberately irregular and textured rim, characteristic of the raku process. The interior reveals a light smoky blue base interspersed with black veins, evoking natural mineral patterns. The exterior stands out with a rich blend of muted tones — blue, green, soft yellow, powder pink — punctuated by metallic rose-gold highlights and black spots typical of raku firing. Depending on the light, the surface offers changing hues and remarkable depth. Each bowl is the result of chance and fire, making this piece completely unique. The crackles, fissures, and roughness are integral to the design and contribute fully to its wabi-sabi aesthetic. Ideal as a decorative object, sculptural centrepiece, or collector's item for enthusiasts of contemporary and artisanal ceramics. ✣ Dimensions. • Diameter: 17 cm. • Height: 6 cm. ✨ Condition.
