A hand thrown Matcha tea bowl decorated with my handmade glazes using wood ash based on Japanese traditional recipe and different type of textured clay included local natural clay.
Created this beige transparent glaze using natural wood ashes and this white texture glazing inspired by a recipe from of Japanese traditional glazing technique. I have created my own recipe adapted to my own style and named this beige transparent glaze “hi ash”, hi is ash in Japanese and this white textured glaze “White Moss”.
The bowl is created with layers of different glazes and which made unique reactions, thickness, bubbles and cracks on the surface.
One of a kind bowl.
The bowl is for Matcha bowl originally but good size for soup or rice.

While working at my art in England, I realised that I felt strongly identified with some of the traditional Japanese philosophies, specially “Wabi-Sabi”, which is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and finding beauty in imperfection, and like to observe the effects of time and the elements of the nature over the objects who give them an imperfect beauty.
