Product description
At first glance, it looks like a wicker basket. It is not a basket. It is porcelain. Each interwoven strip of the wall has been individually shaped, assembled, and fired. The sukashi-bori technique, porcelain openwork, is one of the most delicate in Japanese ceramics: it tolerates no errors, no touch-ups, no shortcuts. The slightest crack during drying or firing and the piece is lost. The result is this white stemmed bowl, visually light despite the stoneware, with a wall that lets light shine through. At the bottom, a cobalt blue medallion depicts a blooming peony within a circle of beads. On the scalloped edge, a frieze of hand-painted chrysanthemums and foliage. At the base, a band of stylized waves. Three distinct decorative registers, perfect coherence. This bowl is made for holding fruit, pastries, an arrangement. It is also made to simply be there.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the openwork wall of this cup made?
Using the sukashi-bori technique, each bar is shaped individually in porcelain, then assembled and fired; the slightest crack during drying or firing makes the piece impossible to save.
Can I put flowers in it?
Yes, by placing a small water container at the bottom for a flower arrangement.
How do I clean it without damaging it?
Wash it very gently by hand, without brushing the openwork wall, and do not stack it.
