Generous and easygoing, this is a true everyday bowl. It’s deep enough to hold a full bowl of noodles and broth, and wide enough to toss a salad or serve a side for the table. The speckles come from the clay itself rather than a glaze, so they run all the way through the piece. The matte finish gives it an earthy, natural feel that’s lovely in the hand. It looks just as good holding fruit on the counter as it does at dinner.

Those freckles are a little bit of chemistry. Speckled clay contains tiny bits of minerals like iron, which melt in the heat of the kiln and bloom into dark spots across the surface. No two bowls freckle quite the same way, so yours is one of a kind.
