Description
The name “Utena” means “pedestal,” “stand,” or “foundation” — a base upon which beauty and meaning are elevated. From ancient times, high-footed bowls have served both daily ritual and quiet ceremony. Utena reimagines this form as a modern classic: a vessel designed to be held, appreciated, passed along. Its graceful silhouette and comfortable form in the hand reflect the refined decorative woodturning techniques that embody the artistry of Yamanaka Lacquerware — a harmony of tradition, craftsmanship, and quiet elegance.
