There's a particular satisfaction in a bowl that's exactly deep enough — generous, but composed.
In the Joseon tradition, the form of a bowl was inseparable from its function: to hold warmth, to gather the family, to make the act of eating feel like something worth doing properly. The Chohwa Udon Bowl from Tovy carries this intent forward, its deep form and watercolour wildflower glaze drawn from Korea's folk ceramic painting tradition (초화, Chohwa). The soft, drifting blues and greens are not printed — they are the result of hand-applied natural glazes fired at high temperature, each batch slightly different, each bowl its own. PEUM brings this craft directly, from the studio to your kitchen.
Fill it with handmade udon in a clean dashi broth — the bowl's depth and heat retention will keep everything warm through the meal. Use it for a weekend rice bowl, where the generous 17.5cm diameter gives space to arrange toppings with intention. On a minimalist table set with linen napkins and wooden chopsticks, a single Chohwa bowl becomes the centrepiece without any additional styling required.
For someone who loves to cook and eat well, this bowl is a gift that gets used every single day. Handcrafted in South Korea by Tovy. No two bowls are identical — the glaze drift is the maker's signature.
