Kei Condo Bowl V 9"
Description
Handmade in Kasama using iron-rich local clay, each piece carries Condo's signature yellow and green glazes, built up and scraped back by hand to reveal the warmth and texture of the clay beneath. The surfaces shift in tone depending on the light, and no two pieces are exactly alike. Designed for the table, they are meant to be used, held, and returned to daily.
Kei Condo was born in 1981 in Kasama City, Japan, a region with one of the oldest ceramic traditions in the Kanto area. His distinctive palette emerged through years of experimentation with glazes, firing temperatures, and technique. His work has been featured at Noma Kyoto in 2023 and at renowned restaurants and hotels worldwide.

His roots extend to Ethiopia, from where his father emigrated before discovering a passion for pottery in Kasama. Condo established his independent workshop in 2010, rooting his practice in the Kasama-yaki tradition, one of the oldest pottery styles in the Kanto region. Working with the region's durable, iron-rich clay, he developed his distinctive yellow tones through years of experimentation with glazes, firing temperatures, and technique.
Condo's philosophy centers on tableware as a backdrop that allows food to come alive. His warm, sun-like ceramics are designed for everyday use, inviting moments that ask us to slow down and look. Timeless and quietly enduring, his work has earned international recognition and has been featured at Noma Kyoto in 2023, as well as at renowned restaurants and hotels worldwide.
