Best for: A floating bloom on a low table
A wide, shallow celadon bowl designed for floating flowers — a single camellia, a few petals, a lotus bud. The glaze is deepest where it pools at the rim.
Wide bowls are harder to throw than tall ones — the centrifugal force works against you. This bowl is thrown in two stages: first the base, then the wall is opened and pulled outward. The celadon glaze pools at the edges during firing, creating a gradient from pale green to deep jade.
Fill it with 2–3 cm of water and float a single flower head — a camellia, a peony petal, a gardenia. Place it on a low table or a coffee table where you can look down into it. Change the water daily and the flower every two days.
Seven questions answered: What is it? Where does it come from? How was it made? Why is it beautiful? How do you use it? Why this one? How do you care for it?
