Petaled Rim Abundant Vines Kobachi Small Bowl

This elegant kobachi small bowl is crafted by Takayama, renowned for Hasami porcelain. In the classic blue and white of sometsuke, it features an interior pattern of richly swirling scrollwork, with additional vine-like arabesques toward the rim. This beautifully contrasts with a simple exterior of simple karakusa budding vines. Vine motifs have long been cherished in Japan for their symbolism of longevity and prosperity. The rim is shaped to resemble a six-petaled flower, adding even more charm.

The bowl’s size is ideal for small bites of pickles, fruit, or desserts, and the shape stacks neatly with other designs for easy storage. It's an excellent choice for newcomers to Japanese tableware and for those looking to mix and match pieces.

This cute yet sophisticated piece adds a sense of depth and elegance to any dining experience.
