The café-style blur 10 cm Bowl
The blur 10 cm Bowl has a cocotte-like shape that brings the feel of a café lunch to your table.
Although it is not heatproof cookware, this compact bowl offers a generous capacity and a small plate that doubles as a lid. Here is a closer look at its practical features.
Just the right size for soup or a small salad
A flared soup bowl can take up more space than expected, but the cylindrical blur 10 cm Bowl fits neatly on a tray and is very stable. It also holds more than its appearance suggests.
As well as soup and small salads, the shape works well for sauces on a larger plate, dips or small side dishes.
The 10 cm Plate doubles as a lid for more ways to use the bowl
The blur 10 cm Bowl is designed so that the 10 cm Plate from the same series can be used as its lid.
Cover the bowl and place it in the microwave or refrigerator, or use the small plate to serve garnishes alongside soup. As a sugar pot, nut bowl or holder for small objects, the blur Bowl has many more uses.
The blur 10 cm Bowl also stacks directly with another bowl. Stack two and add the lid to create a small tiered serving set.
Gradients created through a traditional technique
Despite its Western appearance, blur is based on a traditional Japanese technique. Look closely at the gradients on both sides of the rim: each varies, and no two are the same.
The softly blurred colors are based on tanpan, a coloring technique used in Gifu's Mino ware. We studied and adapted this older method to bring out blur's relief and color. Skilled, even application by the craftspeople completes the effect.
The blur series: three colors and ten pieces
The blur series offers three colors and a wide range of pieces to cover everyday meals.
Available in brown, blue and white.
The range comprises three bowl shapes, four plates, two cups and one pitcher.
Each combines practicality and beauty; enjoy using them together.
blur pieces to pair with the 10 cm Bowl
Alongside the 10 cm Bowl, blur has two Deep Plates that can be used as bowls. At 13 cm and 17 cm in diameter, both have a shallow depth that is easy to scoop from and a raised rim that is easy to hold.
The 13 cm size suits cereal or individual portions; the 17 cm size works well for curry and simmered dishes. Pair a Deep Plate with a 10 cm Bowl for cereal and fruit, or curry and pickles, to bring the table together.
masamura craft
In Tajimi, Gifu, one of Japan's leading tableware-producing regions, masamura craft artisans carefully shaped and decorated each piece by hand. The brand disappeared for a time as circumstances changed. Those earlier pieces retained a lasting sense of craftsmanship, warmth and familiarity.
We carry forward those designs and techniques, combining them with contemporary production methods and design to offer a new masamura craft for the lifestyles ahead.
POTPURRI's sister brand masamura craft is developed collaboratively by 大脇彩子, formerly of the now-closed tableware maker Masamura Seitosho in Tajimi, Gifu, model maker and artist 岩城宏行, and POTPURRI designer Hiroyuki Okami.
blur
blur draws on Kiseto, a traditional style of Mino ware from Gifu. The technique called tanpan applies a penetrating metallic colourant to bisque-fired pieces before the final firing.
blur began with the idea of adapting this technique to create softly diffused colour, approaching the process almost like dyeing fabric.
Traditional tanpan uses copper to create a diffused green. For blur, nickel chloride produces the white finish, while cobalt chloride is used for blue and brown. Colouring the raised and recessed areas receives particular attention, drawing on the craftsperson’s skill to achieve an even finish with a brush.
The resulting pieces are made to be reached for every day.
