Handmade Oryoki Bowls by Peter Goettler/ 3SCHALEN
All my oryoki sets are one of a kind pieces. Small deviations in color or shape are a sign of the handycraft production and should be embraced. My oryoki bowls are made of earthenware and fired at 1050 °. Inside I glaze them, outside the bowls are unglazed natural, so you can feel the clay directly. Each bowl is signed with a stamp on the bottom. They are lead-free in mass and glaze, cadmium-free and acid-resistant and therefore suitable for food. Best wishes, Peter
