This is a flat-rimmed bowl made by Mutsuko Sugimoto of Tsuchiyama Kiln in Shigaraki ware. This medium-sized bowl is characterized by the texture of "earthy ware," where the rough surface of the clay is visible. You can also see the "vidro glaze" where the glaze has melted and flowed, as well as kiln changes where the color changes due to the flames. As a flat-rimmed bowl with steep sides, it would be perfect for serving simmered dishes, or it would look fantastic with gratin or doria.
