Lacquered Whale Bowl

Price

£160.00

After nearly a decade of crafting lacquered whale bowls, Qian Honghai began experimenting with whimsical variations—short, tall, round, and slim—to break the monotony of traditional forms.

Cherished for journeys and camping, the whale bowl has become his signature creation. Its handle is designed for a snug, comfortable grip, making it ideal for meals or drinks.

Crafted from naturally perished maple trees in the Tianmu Mountains, each bowl features a natural lacquer finish, showcasing the earthy textures of rocks, rivers, and trees.
