Serving Bowl - Inyo Series #01

This serving bowl from the Inyo Series carries contrast in its most natural form. Two glazes meet and flow across the surface — deep, dark tenmoku merging with soft, golden amber and a hint of blue where they meet. The result is a landscape of color that feels alive, never planned, always unique.

The raw clay at the base adds warmth and balance, grounding the glossy surface above.

Why You’ll Love It

The size is perfect for serving dishes — noodles, roasted vegetables, or fruit. The shape feels comfortable to hold, with a balance between form and function.

Each bowl has its own rhythm in the glaze — some darker, some lighter, each one revealing subtle flows and lines where the two glazes meet. It’s a piece that feels expressive yet quiet, strong yet soft.

Also a beautiful gift for someone who appreciates simple, well-made things.

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.
