This ramen bowl from the Inyo Series has become one of my favourite shapes to make. It’s deep and generous, with a wide, rounded form and a steady base that feels solid in your hands.
The surface tells its own story: one half dipped in glossy, almost black Tenmoku glaze, the other in a clear glaze that lets the toffee clay shine through. Where they meet, the glazes flow in ways I can never fully control — sometimes bold and defined, sometimes soft and blended. Every bowl is different, and that’s exactly what I love about this series.
It’s a lovely size for your favourite noodle bowl, a generous salad, or something warm and comforting at the end of the day. Honest, simple, and made to be used.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
This bowl brings a sense of stillness. It’s smooth on the inside, soft to the touch on the outside, and the way the glaze drips is always a little surprise out of the kiln. It’s the kind of piece you’ll want to reach for again and again — because it works, and because it feels good to hold.
Perfect for a comforting bowl of ramen or udon, and especially beautiful when paired with our wooden chopsticks or ceramic chopstick holders. Together they make a complete and stylish set for your table.
Also a beautiful gift for someone who appreciates simple, well-made things.
ABOUT THE SERIES
ABOUT THE 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.
