Red Turnip Kutani Bowl
A beautiful Kutani ware bowl featuring a hand-drawn turnip.
This unique design captivatingly showcases the contrast between the pure white exterior and the deep red interior, exuding a strong presence without being overly ostentatious. The bright green leaves and the soft outlines of the yellow turnip are well balanced, creating a warm and impressive painting. Due to the hand-made nature of the painting process, the bowl's rim may show slight unevenness of color and shade, adding to its artisanal charm.
Root vegetable motifs occupy an important place in Japanese ceramics and are often depicted. It is a familiar and simple motif in people's daily lives, and it has the effect of relaxing the viewer's mind and making meals look more delicious. This bowl pays tribute to this rich history with a charming hand-painted turnip. The delicate outlines of the turnip gracefully embrace the food served on the plate.
It is deep and has a diameter of 20.1cm (7.9 inches), ideal for serving salads and stews. Its unique oval shape, along with the slightly concave rim, gives it a hand-crafted look.

About kutani ware
Kutani ware is a type of pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years.
It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines.
Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
In the early 1700s, the Kutani kilns were closed, but about 80 years later they were opened and Kutani ware was revived.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
