Description

The sides of the bowl are shaped like the petals of a flower giving the bowl an elegant look. Items with distinctive curves such as this bowl are made by first making a base by pressure casting and then carved by skilled craftsman to give the final refined touch.

The inside is decorated with traditional Japanese motifs. The bamboos represent strength, the Japanese pampas grass represent vitality and the peonies are meant to cast off evil spirits. This auspicious pattern is frequently seen on Arita ware and is given a contemporary makeover with the different shades of blue and silver.

This bowl would look great on a smooth blue dining cloth. You can use it to plate Japanese style appetizers or a small salad. Upgrade a scoop of vanilla ice cream using this delicately designed bowl for dessert.

Maker / Brand / Series

Arita Porcelain Lab is a brand/company revived by the seventh generation Yazaemon as a successor to the long-established Arita porcelain kiln established in 1804. To make Arita porcelain a global brand, the company has been working to create modern Arita porcelain that is in tune with modern lifestyles while incorporating the more than 200 years of traditions.

The Japan series is a representative series of Arita Porcelain Lab's products that maintains the traditional style of Arita porcelain while modernizing the color scheme.

The unprecedented paints created by Yazaemon kiln's exclusive techniques are brushed on one by one by skilled craftsmen to create a variety of colors and textures inspired by scenes of the four seasons in Japan. The shading of the brush that appears on the surface creates an elegance that cannot be imitated elsewhere.

The design uses the traditional Arita ware "kissho" pattern, which has been considered auspicious since ancient times, as it is, and expresses it in a modern way by changing the color scheme. The kissho pattern has been widely used in Arita ware by the potters of the past, who wished to enrich the lives of those who used the porcelain in both material and spiritual aspects.

Small Kobachi & Appetizer Bowls

A kobachi, meaning "small bowl" in Japanese, is ideal for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate yet much smaller than a donburi bowl, it’s the perfect size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating a kobachi into your table setting adds an authentic Japanese touch to your meal.
