Kashiwan Bowl (Y)

£40⁰⁰

Wonderful to hold, these oak bowls emphasise the natural oak grain. Originally made as rice bowls, they can be used with food as dip bowls or without. The soft, smooth finish and the striking grain pattern on these handmade lacquered spalted oak dip bowls mean they are just as lovely to look at as to pick up and use

Care Guide

These are not suitable for putting in the dishwasher, microwave or oven, and please do not use metal cutlery as it will damage the lacquer.

Wooden and lacquered items can seem difficult to care for but with a few simple rules, they can actually last for a long time. Please hand wash with care: do not immerse for any length of time or use an abrasive cleaning pad, and dry with a soft cloth as soon as you can after washing, then give a final wipe with a dry cloth to prevent any dulling.

Do not place in direct sunlight, this can cause discolouration or deformation. Although in Japanese aesthetics worn or discoloured lacquer shows the length of time you have used something and some people view this wear as very attractive.
