Online Pamono Large Japanese Ceramic Bowl Juraku 寿楽, 1960s

A beautiful and rare Japanese ceramic bowl, signed on the underside and crafted in the 1960s – a period in which traditional Japanese ceramics embraced new forms of artistic expression.

Dimensions: height 9.5 cm, width 54 cm, depth 17 cm.
In excellent condition, with signature.

The bowl features an elongated, organic form. Its surface reveals a deep, earthy reddish-brown color with subtle tonal variations and a lively texture reminiscent of coarse woven textile. This natural appearance is the result of the traditional firing process, where each nuance and irregularity lends unique character.

Traditionally, bowls of this kind were used as ikebana basins (suiban) – low vessels in which floral compositions were arranged according to the art of ikebana.

Thanks to its generous size, the bowl today makes an impressive centerpiece, perfect for displaying fruit or nuts, yet equally striking as a purely decorative object.

A powerful interior accent that embodies the aesthetics of wabi-sabi: beauty in simplicity, impermanence, and imperfection.

An exceptional piece of Japanese ceramics that is both functional and sculptural – a refined addition to any interior and a valuable collectible for admirers of Japanese craftsmanship and vintage design.
