This gorgeous Japanese bowl set adorned with a bright blue 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.

Bowl Sets
This collection features Japanese bowls that come as sets. Some contain bowls of the same size and pattern, while others consist of carefully matched size and design variations. Here you will also find oryoki bowl sets, Zen-inspired nesting bowls that pleasingly combine into a single neat stack. Regardless of the variety, bringing a handcrafted bowl set into your home is a beautiful and easy way to create harmony and unity in any table setting.
Peony
Often seen in Japanese art and design, the grand, luxurious peony symbolizes nobility, grace, refined beauty, and more. Introduced to Japan from China during the Heian period (794 CE–1185 CE), a time celebrated for its aesthetic refinement, peonies quickly became popular in the gardens of the aristocracy and were often celebrated in poetry. Blooming in late spring, these flowers display an array of colors, from deep reds and soft purples to vibrant pinks and radiant yellows. Their lush, expressive petals bring a sense of grace and elegance to each piece in this collection, elevating the table with artful beauty.
