These bowls are made by Aya Kondo, a ceramicist based in Kasama, Japan.

Over her distinctive hand painted design in slip (a liquid clay mixture applied using a dripper), she has finished the pieces with a rich caramel shade glaze.

In their proportions, they highlight the petit-sized kodai (foot) at their base.

The bowls can be used to present food, or simply as distinctive pieces to enliven a shelf or table.

Each has diameter 18cm, with a height of 5cm. As the pieces are hand made, there are subtle variations between them.

About Aya Kondo

The work of Aya Kondo comes from a quiet obsession. A brief career as a public employee, and then time spent travelling in Asia led her eventually to pottery training in Mashiko. In 2001 in nearby Kasama, she established her own kiln, enveloped by nature. As the years pass, so has there been a gradual evolution in her style. A key element remains detailed arabesque patterning which she achieves by hand painting slip using a dripper. More recently Kondo has added deep moss green, Oribe type glazes in a patchwork alongside her trademark sweet yellowish brown. An important figure in the Kasama pottery scene for most of the last twenty years, Aya Kondo’s ceramics are a kind and refined presence in homes all around Japan.
