These bowls would give you cancer immediately once the lead paint leeches inside your broth.

I have a few raku glazed ramen bowls, matching rice bowls, and mugs.

none of those have lead. lower left is a rutile based glaze, upper right looks like a white claybody slip over an irony claybody, lower right may have cobalt but any recent cobalt-ware should be vitrified and non-toxic. upper left looks like some cone 6 premixed industrial nonsense. defo non-toxic.

not sure if what you're calling raku is actual raku-fired work, but if so, you should definitely not be eating out of it.

They haven't used leaded glazes in American made stuff at least for decades.

I've started collecting spoons and forks. Last time I went to the thrift store I spent like 90 dollars. But I also bought some platters and and other silver not just spoons. I'm a little sad my current job doesn't use spoons so much. I really love having spoons for each job.

i have my own thing with industrial warning symbols, but one of the things i like about them a lot is how evocative they are for lots of people while having kind of indeterminate meanings for different viewers

just decoration. it's better than a mug that says 'world's best dad' or whatever

I’m thankful that my mother managed to save my grandparents full set of towle old master sterling silver utensils form her vulture siblings who instantly pawned off all the amazing things they hadwhen they both died. I take great care of them now, but since I’m just a single guy I just have one of each fully polished up that I use and clean daily.

I'm really surprised pictograms can mean different things to different people.

[Anonymous No.19785991]

>>19785973
are you being facetious? in any case, it's not the literal meaning, but what additional things people read into them, what they evoke. i've found that people respond in all sorts of ways

Potters aren't trained artists so they make goofy sophomoric aesthetic choices. You go to any pottery studio in any basketball college and see mountains of this shit.

Actually real reason for kintsugi instead of all the fake emotionless garbage people make. Just be sure to really look into how to do it right so that is still usable.

I acquired this mug for 10euro at a christmas market in colmar, france in 2010 and it's been my daily drinker ever since. Capacious, good handling, fairly lightweight and sturdy for what it is. I've cracked it doing stupid shit like 5 times and every time it heals up like a champ within a few days.

A couple months ago I finally deciphered the signature on the bottom of the mug, looked the guy up and he's still making these. Kinda thinking about contacting him and ordering a proper four-set of them, although I'm sure it'd cost 60+ dollars for the set+shipping to america, so, may not be worth the trouble.

and yes I have the hands of a toddler.

if a piece is lightly cracked you can just pour boiling water into it and it will seep through the cracks and oftentimes mend them all on its own. it's like kintsugi without the gay glitter paste

I have a set of tea cups, one male and the other female, that I've never used. I will use them the first night of my honeymoon.

A lot of Japanese tea sets will 'sweat' for the first couple years, until the micro pores get clogged up with teagrease. It's the teaheads equivalent of a patina on bronze sculpture.

[Anonymous No.19788985]

This spoon, and this mug. The spoon is just a neat shape with a nice solid weight to it, and the mug has a very nice finish. It's difficult to explain, but the mug has this attention to detail that you can feel when you hold and drink from it. I don't mind the mid century modern decoration either.

[Anonymous No.19788997]

>>19788985
The main detail about the mug I like is that the outside of the mug is almost perfectly vertical all the way up and comes to a very thin, flat rim before sloping inwards. It's hard to describe or get on camera, but the end result is that where a lot of mugs will leave a small drip of liquid on the outside after you take a sip due to the rounded rim, this one doesn't.

>inb4 "thing vs. THING JAPAN :D"
I picked both of these out of hundreds of other items in a thrift store at a glance, and had decided I was going to buy both basically the moment I grabbed them just based on feel. Seeing they were made in Japan and not made of Chinesium was just icing on the cake.

maybe it will be easier if you grow a braincell and take better pictures

[Anonymous No.19790151]

>>19789556
Explain to me the camera angle to show in detail the outside angle, the thin top rim, and the sloped interior in one image. It's something you can easily see in person examining the mug, not so much in a close up picture while trying to hold the mug in the right position, getting the right lighting, and trying to hold the camera while trying to get it to focus on a very close object. How about you STFU and post some pictures of your own.
