Couldn't load pickup availability
Appearance like Western tableware
This small bowl has an impressive dynamic flower pattern. 
The smooth white porcelain is decorated with blue paintings, giving it a modern yet somewhat nostalgic feel. There is a carved pattern around the edge, which tightens the overall impression of the bowl. When you turn it over, you can see a simple expression typical of Arita ware. You can enjoy both the traditional and modern aspects of Arita ware. 
One more side dish
It's the perfect size when you want to add a little something, such as sesame dressing or dipping sauce. If you serve a small amount of food, it will make your usual dishes look much more elegant. Arrange olives and nuts for 2-3 people and toast with wine. It will come in handy when having drinks with your family or entertaining friends. 
You can also put blueberries on yogurt and use it as a dessert cup. You can also stack them, so it's a good idea to have one for your family and for guests.

About the style and atmosphere
This tableware has an eye-catching appearance that will brighten up your dining table. The patterns of different shades of color and thickness give the impression of brush strokes, and the tasteful texture is also attractive. Porcelain is durable and easy to handle, and its light weight and thickness make it easy to use on a daily basis. I also like that it can be used in the microwave and dishwasher. While retaining its traditional charm, it fits naturally into modern life.

Arita ware
Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many items that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
