Miyama icue Small Bowl - 14cm - Sumire Purple
The Miyama icue (いくえ) Small Bowl in Sumire Purple brings a modern sculptural quality to the table through its distinctive layered design and soft violet glaze. Subtle interior ridges create depth and visual interest, while the delicate purple tone — inspired by the traditional Japanese pansy flower — lends the piece a calm, refined character.
The innovative square rim with rounded corners tapers into a stable circular base, making it a considered choice for salads, fruit, side dishes, or desserts. Made in the Mino ware region by Miyama, the icue collection blends artisanal heritage with a minimalist aesthetic well suited to modern dining.
