Know before you buy
Yes, this porcelain bowl is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily use despite its delicate hand-painted appearance.
The bowl measures 13.5 cm in diameter and 5.0 cm in height. Its size is ideal for serving individual portions of rice, miso soup, or small side dishes known as kobachi.
Because each piece is hand-painted using traditional indigo gosu, there may be slight variations in the brushwork and pattern placement. This unique character is a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
While the rim features a distinct floral shape, the bowl is designed with a stable base that allows for easy stacking in standard kitchen cabinets.
The classic indigo and white aesthetic is highly versatile and complements both Asian and Western table settings, making it a functional addition to any dinnerware collection.
