FUKURASUZUME BOWL, PURPLE

The Japanese Fukura-Suzume refers to a "puffed-up sparrow", a long-standing symbol for fortune and good luck in traditional Japanese culture. Marumitsu's Fukurasuzume bowls take inspiration from this traditional motif, mimicking the feathers of a sparrow through curved relief lines hand-carved on the interior and exterior of the bowl. A proprietary glazing technique leaves a dynamic, almost translucent purple  finish, highlighting the engravings and creating subtle contrast. Meant to be used as a daily vessel, the Fukurasuzume bowl is perfect for cereal, soups, ice cream, or anything else you can think to use a bowl for.
