Steel Blue Hiragata Bowl (8")

A deep, calm blue that makes food look its brightest. Greens look greener, tomatoes redder, a simple bowl of noodles suddenly worth photographing.

The hiragata is a centuries-old Japanese form, a wide, shallow tea bowl traditionally used in summer, when its open mouth let tea cool a little faster. We kept the shape and made it for everyday: pasta, salads, poke and rice bowls, or sides to share. Its low walls give every dish room to breathe.

Each bowl is handcrafted from high-fired terracotta clay, so the glaze settles a little differently on every piece.

Pairs well with: the Steel Blue Base Plate and Steel Blue Saucer for a tonal setting, or the Marigold Hiragata for contrast.
