Rice Bowl with Chopsticks in Green Tea Glaze

Description

Noodle bowls. Japanese rice bowls with chopsticks.

From what I understand, it's ok to slurp when you eat noodles or rice with chopsticks, but never to stand your chopsticks upright in your bowl of food. Consequently, the design of this set of two rice bowls allows you to rest your chopsticks on the edge of the bowl without worrying about them rolling off.

I made these bowls on my pottery wheel out of porcelain clay, adding a swirl in the bottom as I finished. While the clay was soft, I incised two holes on one side of the bowl and two half-circles on the opposite site to create a resting place for your chopsticks. One bowl sold recently, so this listing is for the other bowl.

The chopsticks come with this listing and were especially created for me by etsy artist: Laserbird. One stick is imprinted with the saying "Love is the only spice you need" and the other one says Steamboat Springs, CO which is where your bowls were created.

I layered the glazes on these bowls to achieve this rich-looking green tea color.

They are microwave and dishwasher safe. Each is signed on the bottom rim.

These bowls will hold 3-4 cups of rice and measure 3.25" high x 6" across at the rim.
