Serving Bowl 245mm (Cloth-Lacquered)

A lacquer serving bowl that adds a quiet presence to everyday dining

The Hazori Serving Bowl 245mm (Cloth-Lacquered) is a generously sized lacquer bowl designed for everyday use.

Its size makes it suitable for serving main dishes, sharing meals at the family table, or presenting food for several people at once. Rather than being reserved for special occasions, it is meant to be used naturally in daily meals—without hesitation or formality.

A calm surface created by cloth-lacquer technique

This bowl is made using the cloth-lacquer technique, a traditional method in which linen cloth is applied beneath the lacquer layers.

The cloth subtly emerges through the surface, creating a gentle texture rather than a decorative pattern. Within the smooth, matte finish, slight variations can be felt and seen, giving the bowl a quiet depth. When held, the surface offers a soft, natural tactility characteristic of organic materials.

While it is not suitable for dishes with very hot oil, the bowl provides ample size and stability for roasted vegetables, grilled meat or fish, salads, and pasta dishes.

Strength and balance built through layered craftsmanship

The Hazori Serving Bowl 24cm (Cloth-Lacquered) is completed through multiple layered processes, including the base preparation, application of  linen cloth, and the use of nori-urushi.

Achieving an even surface requires careful adjustment to avoid irregular thickness or imbalance in expression. By patiently layering these processes, the bowl achieves both structural strength and a composed, understated appearance.

At first glance, the bowl appears modest. With continued use, however, the depth and care inherent in handcraft become quietly apparent.
