This is a lacquered wooden bowl with a beautiful glossy reddish-brown finish. Delicate black bamboo leaf patterns are hand-painted on the sides, creating an elegant and calm Japanese atmosphere. Being made of wood, it is lightweight and doesn't easily conduct heat, making it gentle to hold when enjoying warm miso soup or clear soup. The lustrous gloss elevates the dining table. I received this as a gift, but I have rarely used it and have kept it stored in a cupboard. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there may be some minor scuffs. Size (approx.): * Diameter: 11 cm * Height: 7 cm Please purchase only if you understand that this is a home-stored item. Although it has been washed, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minute details. Will ship within 24 hours. Shipping method may be changed from Rakuraku to Yuyu-bin or vice versa.
