Thank you for viewing. This is a beautiful piece with a simple white color and black speckles. It has the warmth unique to earthenware, and the fact that it's not perfectly round gives it a handmade feel. The black iron spots are all unique, and the exterior of the vessel has elegant streaks and small irregularities, creating a beautiful pattern. It's perfect as a sweets bowl for tea ceremonies or as a serving dish for meals. - Color: White - Material: Ceramic - Shape: Bowl Size: Diameter: Approximately 19.5cm Height: Approximately 7.5cm I have only displayed this piece and have never used it for food, so it appears clean to the untrained eye. However, please purchase only if you understand that it is a used item. No box included. It will be carefully packaged and shipped in a personal box. Please note that returns are not accepted. Thank you for viewing.
