Bellflower Bowl

Oji Masanori for Jicon

• Introduction

  I am a Bellflower Bowl. Don’t let my delicate grace deceive you. I started in the mud and I’ve gone through heat and fire to become who I am today. I have a tough spirit under my radiant porcelain skin.

   

• Curator's Notes

   

  Inspired by the outline of a bellflower, the rim of this white porcelain bowl is designed with a intricately carved edge. Striking as a decor piece, it can also be used in a variety of settings as a centerpiece on a coffee table or dessert bowl. 

  Bellflower Bowl was curated by Angélique Chmielewski
