Soekyu GOSU Bowl 1.0

Sale price$79.00

Crafted by Soekyu Kiln, the GOSU Bowl presents a modern interpretation of traditional blue-and-white porcelain through its signature gradated blue glaze. Each bowl is sold individually and offered in five color variations, from the softest sky blue (1.0) to the most profound indigo (5.0), inviting you to choose the depth of expression that speaks to you.

The delicate concentric glazing creates a petal-like pattern that draws the eye inward, evoking the stillness of water or the unfolding of a blossom. These flowing gradations are achieved through meticulous layering of GOSU pigment—an iconic cobalt blue used in Japanese ceramics for centuries.

Ideal for serving rice, side dishes, or desserts, each bowl is a self-contained work of art that elevates everyday dining. Whether you select a single hue or curate a tonal series, the GOSU Bowl offers a refined yet personal experience of beauty in daily use.

Meet the Artisan

Soekyu Kiln

Soekyu Kiln was founded in 1953 in the Yoshida district of Ureshino. Now led by third-generation potter Hisahiro Soejima and his wife Michiko, the kiln carries forward techniques that speak to both heritage and sensitivity. Early on, the studio became known for pieces painted with karako motifs, but its identity deepened through the mastery of two traditional techniques: sumihajiki, a resist-painting method using black ink, and "dami", a brush-dyeing process using cobalt pigment.

Today, their GOSU collection expresses a contemporary vision through these techniques—particularly the expressive range of blue known as gosu. Shades from 1.0 to 5.0 are brushed by hand using wide, loaded brushes, with the flow of pigment controlled by the artisan’s fingertips. No two pieces are the same. The result is not only visual, but atmospheric: pigment that responds to the season, humidity, and rhythm of the hand.

At Soekyu Kiln, porcelain is seen not as display but as accompaniment. These are vessels made to live with—touched by the climate, guided by tradition, and grounded in a sense of care.
