Large Bowl - Inyo Series #02

A piece with quiet strength — this large bowl from the Inyo Series is made for generous servings and everyday gatherings. The surface brings together two very different glazes: glossy, dark tenmoku and a soft, transparent clear. Where they meet, the glazes move freely, creating flowing contrasts that feel alive and unrepeatable.

Why You’ll Love It

The Inyo Series is about duality — dark and light, glossy and raw, bold and soft. This bowl carries that spirit in its generous shape and striking surface. It’s perfect for large salads, roasted vegetables, noodles, or even as a centerpiece filled with fruit.

The contrast of the glazes makes every bowl unique. Sometimes the line between them is strong and defined, other times soft and blended — always with its own character. It feels honest, expressive, and intentional — a bowl to build meals and moments around.

Practical enough to serve every day, yet beautiful enough to keep out on display. It’s a piece that adds depth and presence to any table.

Each bowl is wheel-thrown and glazed by hand, which means no two are ever exactly the same. That individuality is the charm of small-batch work.

About the Inyo Series

The Inyo Series was born from an experiment: dipping one piece in two contrasting glazes and letting them flow together across the clay. The result reminded me of a landscape — layered, spontaneous, and full of contrast.

“Inyo” is the Japanese word for yin and yang, and this series reflects that idea through both form and finish. Every bowl becomes its own meeting point between opposites, where something new and unexpected always appears.

Each piece is handmade slowly and intuitively, carrying a surface that feels alive and balanced. The Inyo Series is a reminder that beauty often comes from contrast.
