Rice Bowl Sho-chiku-bai Blue | Imari Ware

Discreet cuteness

A tea bowl with an auspicious pattern drawn all over it. The plum, bamboo, and pine patterns are carefully hand-painted and have been considered to bring good luck since ancient times. The bamboo colored in the overlay is plump and swollen, giving it a warm, hand-crafted look. Because it is painted in blue, it is not too cute and gives an elegant impression.

Gently brighten up your dining table

Serve with fluffy freshly cooked rice and enjoy! The size is a little larger, so even men and picky eaters should be satisfied. It's great to pair with a different color of red, or give as a couple's bowl as a gift. The classic auspicious pattern is perfect for celebrations and will be enjoyed by people of all ages.

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 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] 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
