Guy Matsuda Tenmoku Deep Bowl (8”)

This tenmoku bowl by Guy Matsuda balances depth and width in a way that makes it especially versatile—large enough for composed meals or generous servings, yet contained enough to feel intimate in use. The slightly taller profile compared to the wider serving bowls gives it a quiet sense of presence, ideal for dishes that benefit from both structure and depth—grain bowls, soups, or layered preparations.

The interior is finished in a black tea dust (tenmoku) glaze, its deep, glossy surface scattered with fine golden speckling that shifts subtly with the light. Toward the rim, the glaze breaks into warm amber tones, creating a soft, luminous edge that frames the darker interior. The exterior carries a quieter version of this effect, with earthy browns and near-black transitions shaped by the gas firing.

The proportions allow the bowl to feel grounded without being heavy—substantial in the hand, but still refined. It’s a form that adapts easily, moving between everyday use and more considered presentation.

Food safe, microwave safe, dishwasher safe。

ガス窯で焼成されたGuy Matsudaの天目鉢。やや高さのあるプロポーションにより、広がりと深さのバランスが取れた、使い勝手の良い一品です。穀物料理やスープ、具材を重ねた料理など、構成のある一皿にも自然に対応します。

内側には黒天目釉が施され、深い黒の中に細かな金色の斑点が広がり、光の加減で表情が変化します。口縁では釉薬がやわらかく変化し、琥珀色の温かみが立ち上がります。外側は落ち着いた茶から黒へと移ろい、ガス焼成による穏やかな景色が現れています。

適度な高さによって安定感がありつつ、手に持ったときには軽やかさも感じられる、日常と特別の間を行き来できる器です。
