Marianne's bowl
Days of roses and food.
Introducing a rose-studded rice bowl from Marianne's JAPAN series, which brings humor and philosophy to the Japanese dining table.
I made a large one and a small one from Seto ware.
[About the product]
The original model created by Marianne in a workshop in Sweden was reproduced at the same size at a pottery in Seto. It is approximately 15cm in diameter.
It has a natural shape with handmade fluctuations.
A cobalt blue rose on a white background.
The quiet elegance blends softly into the dining table.
It's a little larger in size, so it's a little more reliable than a rice bowl, and it's a little lighter than a bowl.
Perfect for soups, salads, and mini bowls.
It's the size that you'll find yourself picking up the most.
Gentle distortion and gentle unevenness that is felt in the hands. The raised platform makes it easy to hold even hot food, and it fits neatly when stacked.
Whether it's Japanese, Western, or Chinese. It gently enhances the color of the food without disturbing it.
*One size smallerDays of roses and rice (small)There are also.
``Rose'' became Marianne's favorite because the wrapping paper at her parents' flower shop had a rose pattern, and it has since appeared frequently in both her original works and Setoyaki collaboration pieces.
I started drawing roses a long time ago. My father's flower shop had wrapping paper, and the bright yellow paper had a lovely pattern of pink roses. I love it, and started drawing it as a motif for ceramics. Roses are also complex and difficult, so I tried various ways to draw them and arrived at the simple rose that I have now. (Marianne story)
*There are individual differences in the way the glaze is applied and the shade of color.
Please enjoy each piece, including the differences in facial expressions.
[About Marianne's seto series]
"Seto ware" is a traditional ceramic produced in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and has been familiar to people's lives since ancient times and has been incorporated into various vessels and pottery. As many of these items are now exported overseas, they are widely known as a representative traditional craft that conveys the charm of ``made in Japan'' to the world.
The "seto series" is a series that was completed under the supervision of Marianne herself, working with a Japanese workshop to review the manufacturing process from scratch to provide affordable prices and durability while preserving as much of her original goodness as possible. The pottery that is the ideal partner for us at Tonkachi and Marianne is one of the representative potteries of Seto ware that has been around since the Taisho era.
