This gorgeous Japanese bowl set adorned with a bright red peony is made by Mr. Tsuyoshi Sato, a Kutani ware artisan known for his use of bright colors and florals.
With brush painting, which is a characteristic of Kutani ware, a thick peony motif is drawn as if it bloomed on bowls, and the center is decorated with gold leaf.
The simple and modern design without rims goes well with any dish, not just Japanese.
The small bowl is perfect for serving a small amount of side dishes for one person, and the medium bowl is suitable for salads and fruits. The large bowl is perfect for salads and appetizers for several people, and because it is deep, you can put Nimono (Simmered food), soup, pasta, etc., or use it as a Donburi bowl.

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.
