Masayoshi Nakagawa | White Cork Hexagonal Bowl

Add an accent to your everyday dining table

"Hexagonal small bowl" by Masayoshi Nakagawa, who has a studio in Shigaraki.
Masayoshi Nakagawa's Cork Series is synonymous with this. Its unique, cork-like appearance is unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the earthy texture of the pieces evokes the warmth of nature. While unique, they also complement the food perfectly, adding a touch of elegance to your everyday dining table.

The "Hexagonal Small Bowl" comes in two types: a simple "white inside" type with a white interior, and a "gold glaze" type with a gold-like interior.
The "inner white" type has a natural feel that is easy to use on the dinner table every day. The "gold glaze" type creates a gorgeous and classical Japanese dining table. The eye-catching, unique texture and hexagonal shape of the dish will accentuate your table coordination and you can enjoy combining it with other tableware.

It can be used as a small bowl for simmered dishes or pickled vegetables, as well as a dessert cup for ice cream or fruit.

The "inner white" type has subtle crazing (fine cracks on the surface of the glaze) visible on the inside. As you use it, the color of the food will soak into the dish, transforming it into a tasteful piece. The "gold glaze" type will change color when food is served on it due to the oil, but the color will gradually blend in and settle. Enjoy watching the changes that develop with daily use.
