Kurinuki tea bowl – Hoppipolla series

This handbuilt kurinuki tea bowl can be used for serving hot drinks, like espresso, tea, but you can use it to serve food, like sauces, a handful of berries, or nuts as well. Some people treat it as a candle holder. Each piece is unique and one of a kind.

It is part of a larger set of pieces, a series I call Hoppipolla. Hoppipolla is an Icelandic word meaning “jumping into puddles”. It is a metaphor of the series which was created as a result of mixing decorating techniques, using many different colours at the same time. We do sometimes feel as we were kids – playing, having fun, and not following any rules.

If you want to create a larger set you may look for the same series pieces or use your imagination and create your individual match.
