Bizan Kiln Yoshidaya Peony Kutani Rice Bowl Pair
Enjoy hot fluffy rice with these colorful rice bowls designed in the traditional Yoshidaya style.
The entire surface of the rice bowls are decorated with bold and beautiful images of large peonies with detailed paintings of plum blossoms on a vivid yellow base. Countless numbers of tiny dots fill in the space between the plum blossoms that give a contemporary look to the traditional Yoshidaya design. The four distinctive colors of the Yoshidaya style, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue are used to express the glory and wonders of spring on these rice bowls.
The shiny gloss of the overglaze accentuates the white color of the inner side of the bowl and adds extra shine when hot rice is served.
This pair includes two rice bowls in different sizes and would be a wonderful gift for a couple as a wedding gift or an anniversary gift.

United StatesPretty but...
Just a couple future product recommendations: 1) I wish that bowls sold in pairs were of equal size, and 2) I wish that some of the pattern on the outside carried onto the inside. Otherwise these are absolutely beautiful bowls and we love them very much for serving fruit in the late afternoon with other Kutani style tableware!
