Couldn't load pickup availability
Tasteful appearance
A shallow bowl with a rhythmic pattern of polka dots. 
The soft color of the material and the pale light blue and brown patterns line the edges, creating a very gentle atmosphere. Each polka dot has a different shape, creating a unique look in a simple style. The body has a shinogi pattern, and the uneven texture fits comfortably in your hand. Although it is made of porcelain, it has a clay-like texture and has a warm feel to it. 
Not only for meals but also for snack time
It's the perfect size for serving side dishes for one person, such as boiled pumpkin or spinach with sesame sauce. It has just the right amount of depth, so it's great for juicy dishes such as dipping green vegetables and vinegared dishes. It's great not only with Japanese food, but also with Western-style side dishes such as German potatoes and marinated tomatoes. 
It can also be used as a dessert bowl by serving vanilla ice cream with brown sugar syrup and bracken mochi. You can also stack them, so it's a good idea to have one for your family and for guests.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, thickness, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Because the glaze is applied by hand, it may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 
〇Some items have glaze splashes. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
