Kitagama Yachimun Wanbu (New, Unused) A "Wanbu" is a bowl-shaped vessel with a flared rim, making it easy to hold. It's a charming, weighty piece with the handmade feel of Yachimun pottery, a distinctly Okinawan shape, and a warm, plump appearance. Yachimun pottery, fired in traditional climbing kilns, tends to have more imperfections than pieces made in electric kilns. The "snake's eye" (a ring) that appears from stacking during firing is a characteristic feature of Yachimun pottery, and is well-loved. Variations in the clay's appearance, small pinholes, bubbles, fine crack patterns (called "kannyu"), uneven glaze, and glaze peeling are natural occurrences in the pottery-making process. We kindly ask that you consider and purchase this item only if you appreciate the handmade quality and charm of Yachimun pottery. Please refrain from price negotiations. Size: Approx. φ 18cm *Please note that there may be slight variations. *Shipping from Okinawa. Please understand and acknowledge that delivery may take some time before making a purchase.
