Inside, the bowl is coated in a smooth warm-brown lacquer, with a single dark streak sweeping across the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the raw, almost stone-like exterior and the glossy interior is the point of the piece. The foot is unlacquered and shows the pale grey clay and a spiral-cut base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the interior is lacquered, the bowl should be hand-washed and dried straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece can be viewed in person at our gallery wanova TOKYO in Roppongi, by appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eW00243\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kenji Hishida \/ 菱田賢治","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52499009962204,"sku":null,"price":1220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3623\/3436\/files\/kenji-hishida-ceramic-and-lacquer-chawan-tea-bowl-w00243-01.jpg?v=1789265568","url":"https:\/\/wanova.org\/products\/ceramic-and-lacquer-chawan-by-kenji-hishida","provider":"wanova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
