Gosu Diamond Chawanmushi Bowl

Enjoy delicious chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) with your favorite ingredients at home with this beautiful Arita ware Chawanmushi bowl from Tasei Kiln. 

Lines painted in Gosu, a cobalt blue pigment, across the lid and the bowl give accent to the soft round shape and enhance its warm and gentle impression. Diamond-shaped patterns evenly painted along the Gosu lines give the Chawanmushi bowl a festive feel. 

The lid rests nicely on the bowl, and the handle on the lid makes it easy to lift. Without its lid, the bowl can also be used as a small Kobachi bowl to serve appetizers or side dishes. 

Tasei Kiln

Tasei Kiln has been producing Arita ware in Saga Prefecture for many years. Their pottery is often inspired by the charm of Japan’s four seasons, incorporating both traditional techniques and new technologies to make it environmentally friendly. In the overglaze painting process, they use lead-free paint developed by Arita in consideration of safety. These products can be used comfortably and safely by everyone from small children to the elderly. Additionally, the popular design of the bond motif makes these products suitable as gifts for life's milestones, such as marriage and longevity celebrations.

Crafted in the historic town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware stands as the most venerable porcelain production hub in the annals of Japanese history. Characterized by its ethereal translucent white porcelain adorned with vibrant paintings, it has profoundly influenced the porcelain craft across Europe.

Within Japan, Arita ware is held in high esteem as a prestigious brand, with the town of Arita acknowledged as a quintessential porcelain production area.
