“Utena” means “pedestal”, “stand” or “foundation/supporting part”.
High-footed bowls have been a part of people's lives since ancient times.
We reviewed their traditional shapes of it and aimed to create a long-loved “Utena” bowl that will become a standard for the future and will look great on a modern dining tables.
The distinguished appearance and the shape that fits comfortably in the hand are the result of the decorative woodturning technique which Yamanaka Lacquerware is proud of.
