Symy Ong Hand-Thrown Dipping Bowl, White

A small, shallow dipping bowl in a soft white dolomite glaze with flecks of blue and green. The dipping bowl has a darker rim, with an unglazed footed base — perfect for serving sauces, condiments or bite-sized snacks.

Hand thrown for us in stoneware by Jynsym Ong — a mile or so from the Objects of Use store. Due to the handmade nature of this object, each dipping bowl will have slight variations and is entirely unique. 

Trained at Clay College, Stoke-On-Trent, Ong then undertook an apprenticeship at Mitoh Gama (Kiln) in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture. She often uses a kick wheel to impart a rhythm that is completely dictated by the body to her work. Ong recently set up studio in Oxford, making stoneware pieces which are fired in a gas kiln.

Measures approximately 9.5cm diameter, 5cm footed base, 3cm high.
