Japan Blue Flower and Bird Kobachi Small Bowl

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 kobachi small 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.
