Pamono Mid-Century Japanese Organic Ceramic Art Bowl, 1960s> Bowls

Monumental Japanese mid-century bowl with a powerful, organic form. The rim is subtly indented on one side, breaking the symmetry and giving the piece a lively, asymmetrical character – a beautiful example of wabi-sabi, the art of imperfection.

Dimensions: height 13 cm, diameter 45 cm. Weight: 7 kg. A kiln mark on the underside confirms the authentic origin of this artisanal work.

The interior base features a remarkable glaze effect: a blue-green layer adds depth and shimmer, almost resembling still water. Around the center, a wavy incised line pattern is etched into the clay, subtly adding rhythm and texture. from the center, flame-like accents radiate toward the rim, harmoniously intertwined with a glaze in soft earthy tones.

The exterior forms a striking contrast with a warm yellow-brown base, over which a lively white drip glaze flows down.

This rare bowl is in excellent condition, with no damage or restorations. An impressive object that works beautifully as an artistic centerpiece or decorative piece, and is equally suited for use as a fruit, flower, or nut bowl.

A powerful example of Japanese mid-century ceramics.
