Description

Soft floral relief emerges beneath the translucent celadon glaze, gathering shadow and light across the surface. The carved petals seem to dissolve gently into the porcelain itself, creating a calm expression that reveals itself gradually in the hand.

Each mold begins as a hand-carved plaster original shaped by skilled artisans. The subtle depth of the carving reflects a process where craftsmanship determines not only the appearance of the piece but also its atmosphere. The pale blue-white glaze softens every contour, allowing the bowl to retain restraint and balance.

Originally created as a small sauce dish to elevate sashimi presentations, the form was designed to sit alongside larger vessels rather than compete with them. Whether placed alone or among other dishes, this small bowl brings a composed rhythm to the setting around it.

Packaged in an elegant gift box, it makes a perfect present for anyone who enjoys cooking and hosting gatherings with friends and family.

Kobachi Small Bowls

Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere. 

This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).

Celadon

Celadon porcelain originated in China and was introduced to Japan by the 10th century. Among the aristocratic classes at that time, celadon wares from China were regarded as the finest imported goods. They adored its mysterious blue and named it "secret-color."

Production of celadon ware began in the Hizen region, the northwestern part of present Kyushu in the early Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE), and the technique was later passed on to Kyoto and nearby areas. In 1957, the craft technology was designated a national intangible cultural asset. Celadon continues to be cherished and crafted by many potters and artisans today.
