The "Brushed 7-inch Shallow Bowl" by Nukaga Maruya is a bowl characterized by its heavy-looking brushed pattern (a pattern created by applying white mud with a brush to the piece). There are also glaze pools here and there, giving it a rough texture that exudes strength and wildness.

The size and depth make it suitable for a variety of occasions and uses, from main dishes to curry dishes.

Nukaga Maruya's works are made using coarse-grained clay, and are masterpieces that allow you to experience the unique charm and richness that only earthenware can offer.

*Since each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color and pattern.
*Due to the iron and pebbles contained in the raw clay, iron spots, pinholes, stone cracks, and crazing may be visible, but we hope you will enjoy these as part of the beauty of the pottery.
* Before use, soak in water to prevent color from seeping in and odors from transferring.
