Naoto Tanii Mini Bowl

Available from Art on The Table when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Naoto Tanii is a skilled potter from Shigaraki, a small town located in the Shiga Prefecture of Japan. Shigaraki is famous for its pottery industry and for the statue of a raccoon dog that stands in the center of the town. This statue is considered a symbol of good luck and is believed to bring prosperity to the town. Tanii's pottery pieces are not just decorative, but also practical and functional for everyday use. He takes great care in creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing
