{"product_id":"otaru-east-west-hemispherical-ceramic-bowl-bronze-black","title":"Otaru East+West Hemispherical Ceramic Bowl – Bronze to Black Mineral Glaze","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something ancient and entirely contemporary about the Otaru bowl. Its hemispherical form — a perfect half-sphere, low and grounded — draws from the Song dynasty tradition of small bronze feet and refined vessel shapes, reinterpreted through a modern minimalist lens. The result is an object that feels both timeless and of this moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is where the Otaru truly distinguishes itself. Crafted from heat-resistant clay and finished with a natural mineral ore glaze, the surface transitions from warm bronze to deep black through a process fired at 1360°C. One year of R\u0026amp;D by expert ceramicists went into perfecting this technique. No two pieces are identical — the variation in tone and surface is not a flaw, but the signature of the process itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Otaru series is designed by SUNs, a Red Dot Award-winning Chinese designer, in collaboration with Element Accessories — a studio dedicated to merging European and Chinese expertise in design and production. A piece from this collection was selected for the innovation competition at Maison \u0026amp; Objet 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as a decorative bowl on a dining table, sideboard, or shelf. It holds its own as a standalone sculptural object, or pairs beautifully with other pieces from the Otaru and Ulfur collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash recommended to preserve the mineral glaze finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Element Accessories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54144075039061,"sku":"OTA10BB","price":84.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/1189\/2309\/files\/9df47308-35ff-4dba-8f22-274b5fe33ef8_1200x1200_fill.jpg?v=1782753158","url":"https:\/\/dwelly.nl\/products\/otaru-east-west-hemispherical-ceramic-bowl-bronze-black","provider":"dwelly amsterdam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
