Guy Matsuda Gas-Fired Ash Glaze Large Bowl

This large bowl by Guy Matsuda is defined by its open, generous form and rhythmic surface. The wide diameter and gently rising walls create a sense of ease and balance, inviting both daily use and shared meals.

Wheel thrown in stoneware and finished in a gas-fired ash glaze, the surface carries a soft, celadon-like green tone, deepening toward the center where the glaze gathers into a richer pool. The interior reveals subtle variation and fine crackling, while the exterior is marked by delicate, repeating impressions that encircle the form, giving the bowl a quiet tactile rhythm.

The contrast between the smooth, luminous interior and the textured outer surface creates a dynamic interplay of touch and light. The glaze breaks gently along the rim, revealing warm clay tones beneath and grounding the piece.

Well suited for serving salads, noodles, or shared dishes, while also offering a strong visual presence on the table.

Food safe, microwave safe, dishwasher safe.

ガス窯で焼成されたGuy Matsudaの大鉢。広く開いた口とゆるやかに立ち上がる側面が、使いやすさと落ち着いた広がりを感じさせます。

石器のろくろ成形による本体には、灰釉が施され、やわらかな青緑色の景色が広がります。内側では釉薬が中心に向かって溜まり、より深みのある色調へと変化し、細かな貫入が静かに現れています。外側には繰り返しの模様がめぐり、触れるとわずかな凹凸を感じる表情が器全体にリズムを与えています。

なめらかで光を受ける内側と、手触りのある外側との対比が、この器に奥行きをもたらしています。口縁では釉薬がわずかに薄くなり、土の温かみのある色合いがのぞきます。

サラダや麺類、取り分けの料理などに適しており、食卓に穏やかな存在感を添える一枚です
