Black Urushi Lacquer Soup Bowl

Black Urushi Lacquer Soup Bowl

WDH
$110.00
2 left

A Japanese black urushi lacquer soup bowl, light and thin yet slow to pass heat to your hand. Smooth, elegant curves sit comfortably in the hand, and the rim flares gently outward with a moderately thin edge for easy sipping, on a high foot that's comfortable for the fingers.

Each piece is carefully crafted by artisans in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, famous for its history and lacquerware. Natural-wood lacquerware has a longer history than ceramics, and the wood base is carefully selected sen from Hokkaido, grown in the severe cold. The underside is engraved with the greeting "Itadakimasu" or "Gochisosama", said before and after a meal to express gratitude for the food and the person who prepared it. WDH works with Japanese craftsmen to continue traditional skills.
