I threw this green pair of Oribe style bowls at the
request of a customer. I was asked to throw them the way I would normal
teabowls that I make but they would be used in a variety of functional roles and likely not for tea. The
pair was thrown with slightly undulating lips which is created by altering the
pressure while throwing making a few low and high spots and the interiors are
slip free so as to have no overt texture which may get in the way of a spoon
(or spork) while in use. As most potters, there is no way to control how
someone will or will not use your pieces as I have discussed in previous post
nor would I necessarily want to, to be quite honest. I'll make stuff and how it
is used at its new home is fine with me and let's face it, it is easy for me to
imagine a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream or a bowl of chili surrounded by
some homemade corn muffins as props for my pots.
