Wabi Sabi Bowl – Anthracite Paper Mache Decor

Handcrafted Wabi Sabi Decorative Bowl – Natural Texture, Modern Simplicity
This sculptural bowl is made entirely by hand in our home studio, inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi — celebrating imperfection, texture, and natural forms. Its layered anthracite finish and raw surface detail create a grounded, minimalist aesthetic ideal for Japandi, boho, or rustic-style interiors.

Why It Stands Out
• One-of-a-Kind Creation: Each bowl is carefully hand-shaped. No molds or copies are used, ensuring that every piece has a unique character.
• Sustainable and Lightweight: Made from eco-friendly, recycled materials. Though strong in structure, it is lighter than ceramic or stone — a safe option for families with children or pets.
• Sculptural Texture: Surface is formed using fabric layering techniques, then hand-painted in anthracite tones to mimic weathered rock, clay, and coral-inspired forms.
• Versatile Use: Perfect as a shelf accent, coffee table centerpiece, or entryway display piece. Can be styled empty or with small natural elements like branches or stones.

Size Guide
• Small: ~11 cm (4.5") – ideal as an incense holder or ring dish
• Medium: ~15 cm (6") – suitable for shelf styling or trinkets
• Large: ~20 cm (8") – decorative bowl or centerpiece
• Extra Large: ~25 cm (10") – statement piece for wide surfaces

Production Process
This piece is created through a 5-step process: hand-shaping the form, layering fabric, priming for durability, adding sculptural texture, and finishing with custom pigment washes. Every bowl is made with time, care, and intention.

Care Instructions
• For decorative indoor use only
• Keep away from water or moisture
• Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth

Note
Each piece is made to order and will vary slightly due to its handmade nature. Custom color or size requests are welcome.
