Curator's Notes 

Similar to a human, a bowl has a lip, a body, and a foot. This rice bowl features these three elements in perfect balance. The small "kodai", or foot, fits snugly in the palm of the hand and the body holds an ideal portion of rice. The lip is thin and elegant, but not too thin that it's brittle and prone to chipping. In fact, unglazed earthenware is known for being highly durable and tough. I love the grippy texture of the bowl's sides, and the earthy aesthetic of its unrefined material.
