Sake cups and Sake bottles.
I was inspired by Sake bottles that were used at Ippiku in Berkely.
Ippuku is fine Japanese tapas in Berkely.
I love not only their food, but also admire their authentic tableware.
I've been throwing organic shape of bowls and cups lately.
I used to like very clean perfect shapes and colors, but I can be very creative making organic shapes.
I scrape them with the knives, emphasize the stone texture by wiping with sponge, and make a dent...
Stoneware and Shino seems perfect for organic shapes and colors.
A ceramist mentioned that the unflatted edge of bowls express landscapes of mountain in Japan.
Interesting...
