Decidedly wabi/sabi, small rustic clay bowls to hold incense or small treasures, slightly chunky with rugged edges.

In this series I’m using an iron rich, ‘old school’ stoneware body for its warm tones and craggy surfaces.

The lustrous russet surface is the kiss of flames with rivulets of melted ash from the wood and salt firing. The approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inch shallow bowls were stacked for firing, separated by “wads” in the center. The top-most dish has a mottled, fully ash glazed surface, the lower ones have residual marks of the flames and wads and ash glazed edges.

Very much one-of-a-kind!

Select from the fully glazed top dish or the lower ones with the trio of fire marks.

Each dish comes with a small zip-loc of hematite sand to support and insulate the incense cones.
