Rice Bowl - Negro Nuri - Lacquerware Bowl -Japanese Style

$160.00Price

Rice Bowl - This piece explores techniques used to simulate antique Japanese Lacquerware. Usually done with Urushi, a toxic resin from a tree I am using special paints and layering them and rubbing away layers to expose previously painted colors. The texture is created using rice and egg shells. This item is the form of a rice bowl. It can be used as a display piece of art or have a utilitarian use as a jewelry keeper or catch all for rings and things. The form is turned on a wood lathe then hours are spent layering paint, smoothing the surface and covering with a different color and repeating the process. The piece is a 6 inch diameter by 3 1/4 inches tall.This will bring years of enjoyment and conversation with friends when displayed on a table or shelf.It is also a great gift item.  Not considered to be food safe.

Care for your bowl

  • Keep out of direct sunlight
  • Minimize exposure to wide swings in humidity levels
  • Do not wash with water, if necessary use only a damp cloth
  • Wax lightly with a quality food safe wax or oil and buff to restore luster.  I like beeswax, walnut oil and mineral oil
