"The ""Settenbre"" soup bowl with a handle represents our shop, SONO in Nagoya, JAPAN. Named after an Italian word meaning September. Made of black earthen clay and applied with a white glaze, it is characterized by the ""grayish"" deep white and ""atmospheric"" shades or unevenness of the color and glaze. The black base clay is more explicitly seen through the mouth and handle. With a bigger elegant handle, a big mouth and enough depth, it is easy to have soup or cereal containing many ingredients or toppings. "
