Higashi Kiln P.S. Blue Tobe Donburi Bowl M
As though painted in watercolors, large and exuberant blue flowers achieve bold and graceful designs on this donburi bowl from Higashi Kiln. The floral design brings a joyful atmosphere to the table and never goes out of style.
Renowned for its durability and ease of use, Tobe ware is widely used in restaurants to serve Japanese noodles. Famous for the bluish tint of its porcelain and understated charm, this bowl embodies a classic and timeless appeal.
The bowl is perfect for a variety of donburi dishes, such as gyudon or oyakodon, and for noodle dishes like udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add toppings.
Higashi Kiln is famous for the glass-like smoothness of its wares and the soft, pastel colors applied with an aquarelle-like touch, which is not bound by conventional frameworks of Tobe ware. These delicate paintings are the work of Philippine-born artist Alyne Ohigashi, who has been creating Tobe ware items for more than 30 years at Higashi Kiln.
