Nerikomi Footed Bowl
This decorative bowl is built from layers of stoneware and porcelain using the Nerikomi technique, where coloured clays are stacked and revealed through the process. The marbled surface is part of the clay body itself — quiet, embedded, and impossible to replicate, giving each piece its own depth and rhythm.
The form is deliberately organic and tactile, shaped to feel intuitive in the hand and grounded in natural movement rather than symmetry. Subtle transitions between stoneware and porcelain layers create a softened, geological quality — resembling sediment, water meeting earth, or distant horizons seen from far above.
Made as a trial piece, the exterior remains unglazed, preserving a coarse, natural clay texture with notable weight and presence. Designed as an interior centrepiece, it sits comfortably in stillness — sculptural, honest, and warm without being loud.
Please note: this bowl is intended for decorative use only. Unglazed exterior is not recommended for food, liquid, or rapid temperature changes.
Features
• Approx size: W 26cm D 18cm H 8cm
• Embedded stoneware and porcelain layers
• Slab-built in Harrogate, UK
• Coarse, unglazed clay body with natural speckling
• Decorative purpose only (not suitable for food)
• Avoid sudden or extreme temperature changes to prevent cracking
