Yakisugi Ash Bowl

$174.00

A sculptural ash bowl with gently angled sides and a low, grounded profile. Its sloping form creates a subtle shift in perspective, while the natural grain remains visible through the carefully controlled fire treatment. Rather than being fully charred, the ash is lightly scorched to add depth and texture without losing its warm undertones. The surface is then brushed and burnished, refining the texture and leaving the grain clear beneath the darkened finish.

Diameter 29 cm × height 5 cm
  • Hand-turned from locally sourced ash
  • Low profile with gently angled sides
  • Light yakisugi treatment preserves the visible grain

Its broad proportions make the bowl practical for fruit, yet the silhouette is strong enough to stand alone. Empty or in use, it brings the texture of real timber into the room without asking for attention.

The warmth beneath the char

The fire treatment is deliberately restrained. Darkened areas give the bowl depth, while warmer tones remain visible along the grain and rim. The result feels soft rather than severe: a balance between the clarity of the form and the unpredictability of the material.
