Stoneware Bowl / M / Black
“Serve your cuisine on a stone or iron.” While trying to turn such idea into incredible new tableware for daily use, we came across the soil of Mie and used it to produce Sekki ware. The soil in Yokkaichi city in Mie and Aichi prefectures is full of iron-rich clay, so when fired at high temperature, the Sekki ware hardens and does not absorb any water. Although the soil is normally used for making teapots, we tried to make tableware and ended up successfully producing a new type of tableware which was neither porcelain nor earthenware.
Sekki is a hard vessel known in Europe as stoneware.
Gray, created by spraying clay and firing it. Black, with an iron-like glaze. Grayish matte white. Deep blue, like beautiful stone. If you use the three together, you will find an effectively balanced color combination. You also find the ware convenient for everyday use. Even if you have many plates or bowls, you may always use your favorites. We have designed the most convenient tableware available: four types of plates and bowls respectively. We hope our tableware becomes your favorite, whatever the dish or occasion.
M-size bowls are very versatile. These bowls hold light
meals or light snacks while drinking and are used for
condiments and sauces, or as ladle holders.
All bowls can be nested inside each other, so they don't take up much space.

Black (Black Glaze)
This glaze is high in iron, and cooking oils tend to darken the color of the dish (darker).
When you first start using it, fingerprints and oil stains will be noticeable, but the more you use it, the more the overall look will develop and the stains will become less noticeable. It is a matte glaze so metal marks will appear.
If you are concerned about stains, apply some oil to a paper towel and wash the plate before use to make them blend in more easily. (Oil-washing)
Even with the same glaze, the finished color and appearance will vary depending on the location and temperature in the kiln during firing.
In addition, uneven glaze, variations in shade, black spots, and bubbles may be visible, and each piece will be unique. Please enjoy these as part of the unique character of the pottery.
