Medium Bowl - Inyo #01

This medium serving bowl from the Inyo Series is a beautiful combination of natural clay and flowing glazes. The interior showcases the signature meeting of glossy Tenmoku and clear glaze, creating warm earthy tones, deep browns, and subtle hints of green that developed naturally during the firing process.

The exterior is left mostly unglazed, allowing the natural colour of the stoneware and the throwing lines to remain visible. Along the rim, the glaze gently flows down the sides, creating the organic details that make every bowl completely unique.

Why You’ll Love It

This is one of those bowls you'll find yourself reaching for almost every day. Perfect for serving salads, pasta, fruit, bread, or dishes made for sharing with family and friends.

What I love most about this bowl is the contrast between the calm exterior and the expressive interior. From every angle, new tones and details appear where the two glazes meet. Sometimes warm golden hues emerge, while other areas reveal deeper browns or soft green undertones.

The wide, rounded shape gives the bowl a balanced and timeless feel, while the glazes bring movement and character. It's a piece that looks just as beautiful filled with food as it does displayed on its own.

About the Inyo Series

The Inyo Series began as a quiet experiment. I was curious what might happen if I dipped each piece in two different glazes — one dark and rich tenmoku, the other soft and transparent clear glaze. 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 in both form and finish. Where the two glazes meet, something new and unexpected always appears. Some flows are bold, others gentle — each piece completely unique.

Every item in the series is made slowly and intuitively by hand. The variation in the glazes gives them a sense of quiet movement, and a presence that goes beyond function.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates both the bold and the simple.
