Takamizu Kiln Shichita Cat Hyouretsumon Bowl - 16.5cm
The Takamizu Kiln Shichita Cat Hyouretsumon Bowl combines the playful charm of a cat motif with the time-honoured Hyouretsumon pattern — a fractured-ice design symbolic of renewal and clarity in Japanese tradition. Rendered in deep Gosu-iro blue, the layered indigo glaze achieves a rich, expressive finish that highlights the feline figure mid-sprint, full of character and movement.
Crafted in the Mino region, the softly curved form and subtly rippled surface give the bowl an organic, handcrafted quality that is as tactile as it is pleasing to look at. A piece that brings personality and considered craft to everyday dining.
