Roughness and delicacy are the expressive elements of CERAMIC LAB. Developed by working closely with craftsmen in traditional pottery villages of Japan, it is a fresh interpretation of Japanese tableware for the modern lifestyle. Knowledge and skills were inherited to develop the product —from the proportion of clay and glaze, to the sensitive transformations while firing that depend on temperature and humidity. Featuring the warm textures of clay, the humble designs give comfort to the user.

Charlotte★★★★★
The subtle texture on this 5-inch bowl feels wonderful in the hand, and it sits perfectly for a small serving of rice or dessert. Really glad I picked this up.
Hazel★★★★★
The 135mm size is just right for rice bowls, and the glaze has a lovely handcrafted feel that makes each meal feel special. I’ve been using mine daily for a week now and it still looks as good as new.
Lily B.★★★★★
The subtle texture on the surface catches the light beautifully, and the clay feels weighty but perfectly balanced in my hand. I use it daily for my morning yogurt and it’s just the right size for that.
Kevin S.★★★★★
I was worried the rough surface might feel scratchy, but it’s surprisingly pleasant to hold — the contrast with the smooth inner glaze makes every meal feel a bit more special.
Chloe★★★★☆
I was curious how they'd balance roughness with delicacy, and the glaze really does feel smooth to the touch while the clay body has a nice texture. It's a touch smaller than I expected for a rice bowl, but the craftsmanship is excellent.
Charlotte X.★★★★☆
The textured glaze gives it a really nice hand-feel, and the 5-inch size is perfect for small sides. Only wish the bowl were just a touch deeper for soups, but it works great for rice.
Ava★★★☆☆
I wanted to like the handmade feel, but the glaze is a bit uneven in spots—still, it's a solid little bowl for sides.
Joseph★★★☆☆
It’s a nice size for small side dishes, but the rough texture feels a bit uneven in places. I wish it were just a touch more polished in the finish.
Jacob N.★★★☆☆
The bowl's textured finish is exactly as described, but the 5-inch size feels a bit smaller in person than I expected for a cereal bowl. It works fine as a small side dish or for dipping sauces, though.
