Rice Bowl Color Transition - Negro Nuri - Lacquerware Bowl -Japanese In
Rice Bowl with color tranition from Black to Red - 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 the red layers to expose the previously painted black
color. The bowl features splashes of color painted by dragging a string across
the bowl. This item is in 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 shape 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 6 inch
diameter by 2 1/2 inches tall. This
piece will bring years of enjoyment and conversation with friends when
displayed on a table or shelf. It is
also a great gift item. Not to be
considered 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
