Hand-painted Oval Bowl - TAKO / タコ唐草

Its heavyweight, hand-painted drawings and handmade textures characterize this oval bowl.

タコ唐草(Tako Karakusa) Series Background:

"タコ(Tako)" means "octopus.". And "唐草(Karakusa)" means decorative arabesques, especially those with circular or spiralling vines. 

Since the leaves look like the suction part of an octopus, the drawing pattern is named as "タコ唐草(Tako Karakusa)".

On the other hand, the pronunciation of the octopus (TAKO) in Japanese is similar to "euphoria/ 多幸(TAKOU)". So, it has been used as an auspicious pattern for a long time.

The heavyweight gives a strong presence. This size is great for daily fruit, salad bowl, cereal bowl or noodle bowl.

As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
