Seigaiha Bowl - Japanese Ceramics, Blue Wave Motif

A distinctive, medium-sized bowl whose deep blue wave patterns extend across the entire exterior and continue inside up to the dark-contrasting rim. The pattern follows the Seigaiha, the “Blue Sea Waves” motif, which has appeared on textiles and tableware in Japan for centuries and is associated with a peaceful flow of life and recurring good fortune. The conical shape with a flared rim has more depth than the shallow serving bowl and fits comfortably in one hand—perfect for rice, soups, muesli, or a serving of pasta. The smooth glaze makes the staggered waves stand out in striking contrast.
