Rice Bowl Red Flower Small | Arita Ware

Standard design that can be used for a long time

This tea bowl features plum blossoms expressed in a vertical striped pattern. If you look at it from above, you'll see a large plum blossom, and if you turn it over, you'll see a smaller plum blossom. No matter what angle you look at it, the carefully drawn patterns will delight you. The height of the base and the slightly curved edges are exquisite, and the form fits easily in your hand. The skills of Arita's craftsmen, who have continued to create pottery with consideration for the people who use it, shine through.

Tea bowls that can be used as a pair

Serve with fluffy freshly cooked rice and enjoy! The slightly smaller size makes it perfect for women and children with small hands. Since the bottom is wide, it is useful for storing boiled tofu or as a bowl. It's great to pair with large bowls of different colors, or give as a gift as a couple's bowl. The simple and unpretentious style is easy to use on a daily basis and will be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Maintenance recommended by the pottery	・Products with overglaze (red glaze) are susceptible to detergents and small scratches, and discoloration may occur more easily when used in the dishwasher. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors.
Product characteristics/ Handling precautions	・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・Small iron powder or paint spatter may be seen on the surface of the pottery. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process, but this is not a crack or breakage, so there is no problem with use. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery.

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】 The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Each painting is carefully done by hand, so the thickness of the lines may not be uniform. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes]

  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 vessels that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.
