Marianne's "Empty Tea Bowl"
Marianne Hallberg×This is the first new release in the Seto Yaki tableware series in a long time.
The prototype of Marianne has been reduced by a size smaller and finished with a diameter of approximately 14.5cm. The distortions of handmade items have been reproduced, and the bowl is a comfortable bowl that fits in with one hand.
There's empty space there, so I think about something I want to satisfy. However, no matter how much you satisfy it, it will turn back empty again. This tea bowl really expresses Marianne's idea.
Even a single bowl looks different depending on the angle.

STORY
About the tea bowl, from Marianne
From the production side
I'll be writing about this tea bowl from the production side. For example, what I think of before this tea bowl is this sight.
I was so obsessed with the conversation at Marianne's workshop that I ended up eating a "makain" at lunchtime. The plump rice was cooked and dried fish was also grilled. That's where Marianne fed the rice to me. This is a vessel that is simpler than any other piece of work scattered around the workshop. I asked, and they said they had been using this all the time here, and they had baked my portion yesterday. It's a dish that's made just for use now, with no decorations. Tea bowls are the temporary place for food to move from outside to people. Food remains in the bowl for a moment, always becoming empty or empty. What a busy but humble role a tea bowl is. We emptyed the bowls and Marianne took them off in layers of empty space. This hasn't happened before, but I feel like this will continue to happen in the future. That's what I think is the "empty tea bowl."
Empty tea bowl.
What do you put in?
It's a tea bowl she makes, so of course you can use it freely. Please use it for other purposes besides tableware. Fill in water to float flowers, stack the stones you have picked up, pile up acorns, or fill with empty vessels at any time.
About Seto ware
It is produced at Takedoen, a pottery from Setoyaki (Aichi Prefecture), known for its Marianne series. Based on Marianne's works, the original design was used to express a unique distortion.
All painting is done by hand, with the edges hand-drawn by a craftsman and blue lines.
Traditional Seto ware, produced in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, has long been familiar with people's lives and has been incorporated into a variety of utensils and ceramics. As it has become exported to many overseas countries, it is widely known as a representative traditional craft that brings out the appeal of "made in Japan" to the world. It can incorporate many techniques and patterns, from simple folk crafts to expensive, difficult dyeing, making it a versatile pottery that can easily blend into any style and blend into the creator's wishes. Whether it's Japanese or Western tableware, we will swallow the design of any shape, creating a friendly pottery. Marianne's partner in Japan is one of the most representative Seto ware potters that have been around since the Taisho period.
